Abstract
An endangered language is defined as a language that is likely to become extinct in the future. In Malaysia, a multicultural country, one language is facing endangerment. A Melaka-Portuguese creole, Papiá Kristáng is listed as a severely endangered language in the Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger by UNESCO for its low number of speakers. The local community is striving to revive and preserve the language and prevent its extinction, but greater contribution is needed to support their mission. This coffee table e-book about Papiá Kristáng is an effort in aiding the survival of the language. The production of this e-book includes deep review of literature and with Kristáng experts. Besides that, the e-book is designed with Kristáng as the theme and it is accessible on an e-book website. The coffee table e-book is yet to be published; however, it is complete with the history of Kristang, the threats it faces, and the efforts taken to revive the language.
