Motorola’s Language Revitalization Initiative
Motorola is committed to embracing inclusivity in our mission to provide smarter technology for all. That’s why, in 2021, we pioneered a smartphone language revitalization initiative, becoming the first OEM to fully support an indigenous endangered language from the Amazon: Nheengatu. We have also included Kaingang (from South/Southeast Brazil) on our mobile devices. In December 2022, in partnership with Lenovo Foundation, we took this commitment a step further by announcing further efforts towards the cause at UNESCO kickoff of the Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032).
Since then, we have released first ever smartphone's user interface in Cherokee (US), Kangri (India) and Ladin (Italy), as well as collaborated in the development of a first-ever writing system and smartphone keyboard for Kuvi (India). With this initiative, we are working towards delivering a mobile experience that embraces all our users, contributing to the preservation of endangered languages and to the celebration of indigenous cultures.
