A Chilean indigenous language vanishes as last native speaker dies

The death of Cristina Calderón, the last living speaker of Yámana, has put the Chilean indigenous language at risk of elimination. Calderón was the only person in the world who could speak the language of the Yagán people for the past twenty years. Although there are still a few dozen Yagáns left, they eventually stopped learning the language as they found it difficult to determine the origin of many words. Not all hope is lost, however, as Calderón worked to save her knowledge by creating a dictionary of the language with translations to Spanish.

Man Ray’s ‘Le Violon d’Ingres’ could become the most expensive photo ever sold

Man Ray’s “Le Violon d’Ingres” is poised to make history as the most expensive photograph ever sold at auction. The black and white photo, taken in 1924, transforms a woman’s naked body into a violin by overlaying the picture of her back with f-holes. The original print is expected to make $5-7 million when it is put up for sale at Christie’s, the world-class British auction house.

The New York Times Buys Wordle

The hit game Wordle has been acquired by The New York Times Company for a price “in the low seven figures.” A cheeky pun on founder Josh “Wardle,” Wordle gives players six chances to guess a five-letter word. The game had 90 users just three months ago. Now, millions play the game every day.
