Small languages live because of pop culture

Bogáta Timár is a language expert. She says small languages survive if they change with time.
Pop culture makes languages interesting for young people. For example, Mari rap or Udmurt techno. Also, videos in Finnish-Ugric languages are popular on TikTok.
Scientists learn more about the history of Finnish-Ugric people. Genetics and archeology give new information.
A small language lives if people use it every day. Parents should teach their children. For example, Livonian survives in songs and books.
Bogáta Timár also talks about politics in Hungary. She says it is hard for scientists to work there. Many young people leave the country.
Timár moved to Estonia. She says life is good here. Estonia is a good place to study Finnish-Ugric languages.
Timár learned Estonian for seven years. Now she speaks it well.
She says she will not return to Hungary. She feels good in Estonia and likes her life here.
