Language Revitalization
In 2012, Susan Pavskan reported:
On Thursday evenings Denaakkâe (Koyukon Athabascan) classes are held at Yukon-Koyukuk School District offices in Fairbanks and Huslia.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“Denotation by means of sounds and markings is a remarkable abstraction. Three letters designate God for me; several lines a million things. How easy becomes the manipulation of the universe here, how evident the concentration of the intellectual world! Language is the dynamics of the spiritual realm. One word of command moves armies; the word liberty entire nations.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
