To give an example similar to fao_, very few foreigners are aware that Portugal actually has two official languages.
Mirandese used to be a very local language spoken in the north, and it was a dying language.
The last couple of years, a group of people started pushing to rescue it, and nowadays the situation has improve a lot with published books, dictionaries, even Asterix gets published in Mirandese and it gets taught to children on the primary schools on the region as additional activity.
Will this save the language long term? Maybe not, but I really like that they at least are trying to keep it alive.
