Annotation

The rapid endangerment and death of many minority languages across the world is a matter of widespread concern. By some counts, only 600 of about 6000 languages in the world are ‘safe’ from the threat of extinction. The author examines reasons for the current crisis, and investigates what is being done to reduce its impact.
