This study examines the role of digital technologies in the documentation, preservation, and revitalization of minority languages. With approximately 40% of the world’s languages facing extinction, traditional preservation methods often struggle with resource limitations and accessibility. Utilizing both qualitative and comparative research methodologies, this research analyzes a range of digital tools and platforms, such as mobile applications, AI-driven language models, and online archives, across various linguistic contexts. Findings highlight that while digital technologies offer significant potential for language revitalization, their effectiveness is contingent upon active community engagement, cultural relevance, and ethical data management practices. The study argues that while digital solutions alone cannot halt language loss, they can play a critical role in preserving linguistic diversity when integrated into community-centered and culturally informed frameworks.
