Projects
Creating a Universal Tani Script
This project aims to develop a unified script for Tani dialects that respects their unique phonetic characteristics (accounting for tones) while promoting mutual intelligibility, something that past efforts with Tani Lipi did not accomplish. By creating a script that is accessible and familiar to all Tani speakers, we are hoping to facilitate language preservation efforts and reinforce cultural cohesion.
A Tani Renaissance: Bridging Borders, Reviving Unity
We are currently collaborating with institutes globally, inorder to revive the unified Tani language, that is now dead. By drawing upon historical records and linguistic expertise, we aim to rekindle a shared identity that transcends geographical boundaries. We want this language to become the lingua franca of all tanis, and after this we would petition the local government to make it compulsory in all schools of Arunachal.
From Virtual to Physical - The Tani Museum Project
By establishing an online museum showcasing Tani artifacts, artworks, and cultural artifacts, we lay the groundwork for a physical museum space in the future. This project would thereby serve as a focal point for community engagement and cultural exchange, promoting awareness and appreciation of Tani heritage.
Language Learning Platform
The creation of an interactive online platform offers accessible resources for learning the Tani language. Through innovative teaching methods and engaging content, this initiative empowers individuals within Tani-speaking communities to reclaim and revitalize their linguistic heritage. We are hoping to work with various organisations like Duolingo, 7000 languages, etc to achieve this. In the meantime do check our youtube channel.
Recording Tani Tales and Traditions
This endeavor focuses on preserving the oral traditions of Tani communities by documenting their history, folklore, and cultural practices. Through audiovisual recordings and written accounts, we ensure that the rich heritage of the Tani people is safeguarded for future generations.
Tani Legends
This project seeks to document the extraordinary stories of remarkable individuals within the Tani community, highlighting their achievements, resilience, and contributions. By sharing their narratives, we hope to honor their legacy and inspire pride in Tani heritage, fostering a sense of empowerment and belonging among current and future generations.
