Areas of action
The overwhelming predominance of languages such as Mahi and Cabè over Cʊmbʊlʊŋ has been the catalyst for its slow decline. This bitter realisation prompted the creation of the ACƱMBƱLƱŊPƱ AJI ANƖ KƱSƱ association. Its noble aim is to prevent the imminent extinction of this language and restore its cultural richness. The association is thus committed to various scholarly and altruistic fields such as:
Holistic literacy to spread the use of Cʊmbʊlʊŋ .
Translation to preserve and disseminate biblical, linguistic and ancestral knowledge.
Community development to strengthen intergenerational links and linguistic pride.
The study of the impact of the Holy Scriptures to reveal buried biblical treasures.
Various training courses to support the intellectual and social development of Cʊmbʊlʊŋ speakers.
Together, these actions aim to breathe new life into this endangered language and preserve its priceless heritage.
