Latinos piden respeto pero no quieren respetar a su propia comunidad. Tenemos que ser sinceros y decir las cosas como son para poder evolucionar. #usatuvoz

Felipe closed out by reading some of his poetry! You can also hear this poem Gyec Muly sung by Emily Drummond, with music by Kathryn Goldberg (both @BrynMawrCollege alums) https://kathryngoldberg.weebly.com/projects.html #ZapotecoColonial #UsaTuVoz
For Felipe, the "real question" is how to take language activist outside of academia — how to involve the younger generation and revitalize the language
In 2016, he started collaborating with a local high school to get kids tweeting in Zapotec!

Our final short talk is from @DizhSa — another member of the @TichaProject board & a postdoc at Haverford
He noticed language shift in his community and started working with linguists in the 90s to write, document, & teach San Lucas Quiaviní Zapotec!

In Triqui, the word for "photograph" is «yaan dùhwa». To say “take a photograph” they say «nàrì yaan dùhwa». #HablemosTriqui #UsaTuVoz https://x.com/LyC_Triqui/status/1007359255958171648
Esta semana aprendí:
En el #zapoteco de Tlacochahuaya, hay dos variantes de expresar el pasado (marcadores del aspecto completivo), "b-" y "u-", p. ej. "Jwany bzah / uzah", 'Juan comió'. La variante "b-" no es tan común y es posible que se la usa más en el barrio alto. #UsaTuVoz
Something I've learned about (Tlacochahuaya) #Zapotec:
Many verbs have two past (perfective aspect, prolly) variants, "b-" and "u-", e.g. "Jwany bzah / uzah", 'Juan ate'. The "b-" variant is less common, and maybe more used in the "upper" barrios of town. #fieldwork #UsaTuVoz
Discussing breastfeeding rights in Zapotec! I love the diversity of topics that come up on #UsaTuVoz 😁
I think "ti+aspan+a" is likely "habitual+verb+1s", but I don't know what "aspan" means
Creo que "ti+aspan+a" es "habitual+verbo+1s", pero no sé que significa "aspan"
"I XX my dog", "yo XX mi perro"
#UsaTuVoz
Becu = perro, dog, 🐶 in Zapotec

In #Zapotec, <budy> = 'chicken', <cyer peluc> = 'bald-necked', and <xnia> = 'red' -- so a chicken with a bald, red neck?
I'm less sure what <guidy> means in this context. #UsaTuVoz https://x.com/DizhSa/status/979785485055877120
