# There must be a dominant culture that favors linguistic diversity
# The endangered community must possess an ethnic identity that is strong enough to encourage language preservation
# The creation and promotion of programs that educate students on the endangered language and culture
# The creation of school programs that are both bilingual and bicultural
# For native speakers to receive teacher training
# The endangered speech community must be completely involved 
# There must be language materials created that are easy to use
# The language must have written materials that encompass new and traditional content
# The language must be used in new environments and the areas the language is used (both old and new) must be strengthened.
