巴宰語是台灣原住民族語言之一，曾被聯合國列為極度瀕危語言。自2010年最後一位能流利使用巴宰語的長者辭世後，語言面臨失傳危機。同時，巴宰族的文化記憶——包括傳統食物製作、新年儀式與語言應用場景，也因代間傳承中斷而逐漸消失。本計畫希望透過影像紀錄與維基媒體平台，保存這些珍貴的語言與文化資產，讓族人重新認識自己的文化，也讓世界更容易接觸這段被忽略的歷史。 目前巴宰語幾乎無法在教育或媒體中接觸到，年輕族人熟悉程度有限；同時，文化活動多以現場為主，缺乏長期保存與共享的數位資源。透過社群參與、數位內容製作與開放平台上傳，我們希望建立一套以族人為主體的文化紀錄方式，並探索維基媒體是否能成為推動語言復振與文化保存的有效工具。 Pazeh, one of the Indigenous languages of Taiwan, was once classified by UNESCO as a critically endangered language. Since the passing of the last fluent Pazeh speaker in 2010, the language has faced the imminent risk of extinction. Alongside the language, cultural memories—including traditional food preparation, New Year ceremonies, and contexts where the language was naturally used—have also been disappearing due to the disruption of intergenerational transmission.
This project aims to preserve these precious linguistic and cultural assets through audiovisual documentation and by making them accessible via Wikimedia platforms. We hope to enable the Pazeh community to reconnect with their heritage and to introduce this often-overlooked part of history to a global audience.
Currently, Pazeh is almost entirely absent from formal education and mainstream media, and most young community members have limited exposure to the language. Cultural activities are mostly held in-person and rarely documented in formats that can be preserved or widely shared. By engaging the community in the creation of digital content and uploading it to open platforms, this project seeks to develop a community-centered approach to cultural documentation. We also hope to explore how Wikimedia can serve as a powerful tool for language revitalization and cultural preservation.
