That’s what I’m here for, too. 
Occitan as well, but that’s a pipe dream, most like. 

+1 there’s lots of groups focusing on the Welsh language who I’m sure would get involved

I, too, would love to see a Welsh course here! Welsh is so beautiful. I have the now ancient Rosetta Stone course that was only level 1, and they don’t even offer that anymore. I was never impressed with Duolingo’s Welsh course. Since I have access via my public library, I’ve asked Mango Languages several times if they will ever provide Welsh, but they never have a definitive answer. I’m grateful that they have Scots Gaelic, though, and provide it for free since it’s an endangered language.

For anyone interested: there actually is a Welsh course being developed on Lingonaut. And unlike Duolingo, where it was technically not possible, it will be in two versions: Northern and Southern.

@gisella_82570 I’ve always wanted to try welsh myself but i could never honestly find the resources for it as it’s not as popular as other languages, thank goodness lingonaut is adding it

@vexo yes, Lingonaut is a great opportunity for Welsh as well as for minority languages that are even less known. There’s quite a few online resources about Welsh by now, but mostly for people who already have some degree of knowledge and just want to improve some skills, or their vocabulary etc.

@gisella_82570 yeah, lingonaut is probably gonna be one of the language learning options with the most languages by FAR becuase if 3-5 people who speak a small language make a course it opens the opportunity to make the language more well known, lingonaut is gonna be the new duo by 2026 i predict

Also this is probably gonna be the only source with dialects of languages as options

We sure hope so! 

Of course the problem in the long run is having enough money  resources and support to keep it going. After all, DL had started in a similar way, the Incubator (or something like that) and volunteers, but then went astray. 🙄 

But we are optimistic here so one step at a time, we’ll see! 

@gisella_82570 Yeah, i remember seeing zulu and haitian creole being worked on when the incubator was public, and if they do add a patreon button to the app, i can see them lasting for awhile, also i think they are gonna add a button that turns on ads if you want to support them, if lingonaut does hold up to their promises seeing fairly unknown/endangered languages being added would be good (Also if this does have Duolingo quality expect there to be a huge boost of people from YouTube with videos like “THIS NEW LANGUAGE APP IS OLD DUOLINGO!!!” or something like that lmao)

@gisella_82570 apparently ingrian is being worked on by one non native speaker (A language with only 200 speakers)

@vexo sure, it is possible, just challenging. And oh, bring on the Youtubers then! lmao

It will be great to give many disappearing languages a chance to be heard (and even learnt to some extent, even hough sadly it takes more to keep a language alive, it’s still better than nothing at all)
