Subject: RE: Obit: The Bo language From: GUEST,999 Date: 22 Mar 11 - 09:45 PM It is sad. Equally sad is that over 3500 languages are in danger of dying off within less than two generations. |

Subject: RE: Obit: The Bo language From: maple_leaf_boy Date: 22 Mar 11 - 08:48 PM Languages are disappearing at an unprecedented rate. Government officials should be doing a lot more to fund the education of minority languages. Not enough is being done. It's sad to see another one die out. As a promoter of minority languages this news saddens me deeply. |
