SaySiyat is an app designed for learning the Saisiyat language. It makes the language no longer just a distant memory, but a language that can be spoken at any time in life. Whether you are a Saisiyat child, a young person who hopes to find the roots of the language, or a friend who is interested in this language, this is your first step towards the language.
Start with a simple conversation in daily life, a "hello" and a "thank you", like opening a door to memory. Step by step, you will find that there are familiar but unfamiliar stories behind the language. The legends of the elders, the rituals in the festivals, the wisdom and lifestyle passed down by the ancestors are gently awakened in every pronunciation and every conversation.
Sometimes, it is just one night, a mother and her child open the app together, whispering words in the language by the bed; sometimes, it is a teacher in the classroom with students taking turns to practice saying "hello" in the language. These seemingly simple moments are the way for culture to slowly return. The language jumps out of the textbook, lives in life, and also lives in the memory of children.
Language is the carrier of culture, and "SaySiyat" is not only a tool for learning tribal language, but also a bridge to the depths of tribal memory and culture. Here, you learn not only how to say, but also how to remember, how to connect, and how to make the language come alive again in life.
