Papua New Guinea is home to more than 850 native languages that are said to be dying with each generation. But two university students are working to change that.
Emily Papa and Lisamarie Wia, both in their final year of study at the University of PNG, started creating TikTok videos to teach people about their language of Engan, after they were inspired by another user on the platform.
"We came across this young Chinese lady who was giving out tutorials in her Chinese language and we were motivated because we like speaking Engan, our language," Ms Wia said.
