Episode Synopsis

In this episode of “Building Kriolu From Scratch” , we discuss the vital work of preserving Kriolu's heritage through language development. This episode focuses on the necessary process of standardizing and digitizing a language shaped by distinct islands. Kriolish’s Linguist and Course Developer, Brandyn Evora, describes the challenge of balancing structural integrity with emotion to create a standard that respects community usage and acts as a clear effort toward cultural preservation. While Kriolish’s Product Designer, Joelson Leal, explains the user-centric approach required to build digital tools that are inclusive and account for the diverse realities of Kriolu speakers, covering the practical difficulties of crowdsourcing and managing island-specific spelling differences. Both Brandyn and Joelson reflect on the passion and precision driving the preservation of Kriolu's unique identity.Music track: Clean it Up by UnheardSource: https://freetouse.com/musicNo Copyright Vlog Music for Video
