Congratulations to Shankhalika and Sabrina, this year’s winners of the Audrey Wearn Language Prize 🏆
Their winning proposal—a web-based smart Tamil dictionary—will help Tamil Canadians reconnect with their heritage language by simplifying the process of learning and understanding Tamil. With their expertise in linguistics, computer science, and community-based teaching, Shankhalika and Sabrina are addressing a meaningful challenge for Canada’s Tamil community.
The Audrey Wearn Language Prize is a $10,000 annual grant awarded to Canadian youth tackling language-based challenges. This year’s winning proposal exemplifies innovation, cultural connection, and accessibility.
