This episode focuses on the power of community-led language work and the people creating meaningful projects from within their own communities.

We speak with Çiya Tabar, a Kurdish community member based in Bilbao, and Mohammad Kamal-Deen Fuseini Dnshitobu, a Dagbamba language activist from Ghana. Çiya shares his passion for Kurdish language and culture, while Dnshitobu discusses his work with Wikimedia to support the digitization of Dagbani and related languages, helping make them more visible and accessible online.

Together, we reflect on what it means to build language initiatives from the ground up, how digital platforms can support minoritized languages, and the unexpected cultural connections that emerge along the way — including, perhaps, the idea of a future Kurdish–Dagbamba Fire Festival.
