In this short paper, we present the first prototype of a mobile application to help preserve and revitalise the endangered language and cultural heritage of the speakers of Dzardzongke, a Tibetic language spoken in South Mustang, Nepal. With this pilot study, we provide a collaborative and highly accessible solution to revitalisation that has potential for any community interested in preserving their language and culture.
