At 92, Katrina Esau, the last fluent first-language speaker of South Africa’s ancient N|uu language, is preserving the 25,000-year-old tongue through a school, children’s book, dictionary, and language app with her granddaughter.
Born in 1933, she grew up hiding N|uu due to colonial-era punishment.
Though honored as a "living human treasure" and awarded an honorary doctorate, she faces financial hardship.
