Journal of Indigenous Culture, Tourism and Language (JICTL) is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published in an online format, dedicated to advancing research and knowledge in the interconnected fields of indigenous culture, tourism, and language. The journal provides an academic platform for researchers, academicians, and practitioners to disseminate high-quality scholarly works that explore cultural heritage, linguistic diversity, and sustainable tourism practices from local, national, and global perspectives. JICTL publishes original research articles, short communications, correspondence, and well-documented case studies that address theoretical, empirical, and applied issues related to indigenous knowledge systems, cultural preservation, language use and revitalization, tourism development, and socio-cultural dynamics. In addition, review articles of current relevance and high academic standard may be considered for publication, particularly those offering critical insights and directions for future research. The journal encourages interdisciplinary approaches and comparative studies that contribute to a deeper understanding of indigenous cultures and their roles in contemporary society. By fostering scholarly dialogue across disciplines, JICTL aims to bridge academic research, cultural practice, and policy development, while supporting ethical, inclusive, and sustainable engagement with indigenous communities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study was to establish the comparative visibility of Rwanda’s official languages: English, French, and Kinyarwanda in public spaces and examine their relationship with classroom language practices in the urban districts of Nyarugenge, Gasabo, Kicukiro, Muhanga, and Musanze. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through systematic sampling of 600 street signs along selected routes and documentary analysis of language allocation in the curriculum. Results: The results showed that monolingual English signs were the most dominant, accounting for 239 (39.8%) signs, followed by English–Kinyarwanda bilingual signs with 181 (30.1%) and monolingual Kinyarwanda signs with 104 (17.3%). Trilingual signs accounted for 34 (5.6%), while French-only signs were the least visible, with 7 (1.1%). Overall, English accounted for 53.4% of the language occurrences, Kinyarwanda 38.0%, and French 8.6%. Curriculum analysis indicated that English and Kinyarwanda receive greater instructional time than French, although allocations vary across educational levels and subject combinations. Conclusions: English dominates Rwanda’s linguistic landscape, whereas Kinyarwanda requires further intellectualization to strengthen its role in education. Limitations: The study was limited to urban areas, which constrained its generalizability to rural settings. Contributions: This study contributes to linguistic landscape scholarship and language policy by demonstrating how language visibility reflects differentiated social, institutional, educational, and symbolic functions. The study recommends intellectualizing Kinyarwanda for use as a medium of instruction while teaching English and French as subjects to support international and regional communication.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate how Kashmiri oral narratives convey meaning through speech and various accompanying verbal, visual, and corporeal means of expression. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative and ethnographic research design, with fieldwork conducted in Kashmir. It involved three Kashmiri storytellers from Srinagar, Anantnag, and Baramulla. Two male storytellers aged approximately 68–70 years and one male storyteller aged approximately 55 years were included. Recordings focused on pitch, rhythm, pauses, repetition, gesture, facial expressions, etc. Results: The findings reveal that oral stories in Kashmir are multifaceted, involving multiple ways of expression. While gestures, facial expressions, and gaze reinforce meaning and communicate affect, variations in pitch, rhythm, and pauses contribute to emotional emphasis and narrative pacing. These findings suggest that conventional textual transcription alone cannot adequately represent the linguistic, paralinguistic, and visual dimensions of Kashmiri oral narratives. Conclusions: Thus, it is necessary to preserve Kashmiri oral narratives in an integrated manner using both transcription and video recording. This study contributes to the broader discussion of linguistic and cultural heritage. Limitations: The current research is limited by the availability of data, particularly in terms of the number of stories and storytellers, and the time required for the analysis. Contributions: This study contributes to multiple areas of research by emphasizing the value of linguistic and cultural heritage, specifically oral narratives. In addition, this work can benefit from being used by various institutions and individuals who are directly or indirectly involved in preserving the language.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how pilgrims perceive the presence of rumors during the Arbaeen pilgrimage in Karbala and how well crisis management deals with them. Methodology: A descriptive field survey was carried out with 50 pilgrims using a 50-item questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale. The items covered five dimensions, namely the reality of rumors, crisis management, rumor crisis management, the role of crisis management in reducing the impact of rumors, and personal behavior toward rumors. Data were analyzed with means, standard deviations, and item ranking. Results: The presence of rumors was rated as moderate (mean 2.66), with rumors about services and about the reputation of Karbala scoring highest. Crisis management (2.11), rumor crisis management (2.01), and the role of crisis management in reducing rumors (2.12) were rated low, while protective personal behavior was very low (1.74). The overall mean was 2.13. Conclusions: Respondents see a gap between the presence of rumors and the institutional response to them, especially in the speed and clarity of official information. Limitations: The small sample, the loss of organizer data, and the lack of reliability and inferential tests limit generalization. Contributions: The study offers field evidence on rumor management at one of the largest mass gatherings in the world and links it to crisis communication research.
