The Hokkien dialect declining in speakers has endangered the language. Everything making up the dialect’s essence will pass away along with it, this includes its’ unique sounds when spoken, no longer heard. After all, things that are dead can no longer make sounds. As beings who exist, it is our natural responsibility to ensure the dialect’s continuity.
Hokkien Conservation School
(2021)
The Hokkien Conservation School conserves Hokkien through the facilitation of self-directed learning in a spontaneous manner among the younger generation, out of the sense of responsibility and belonging to Singapore’s culture. In the long run, it ensures and insures the continuity and existence of the Hokkien dialect through generations that are familiar with speaking it, making it a thriving culture.
