ELL: response to WSJ editorial

[coyotez]

Klahowya all,

As  non-linguist, yet a Native American whose language is extinct, I agree
with Linda. In my culture, its all related, interrelated, and if languages are
to be saved, it will take people working on many fronts to do so. It is in the
Indigenous communities, whereever they are located, that most languages will
be restored and they will likely spearhead the struggle for saving their
languages. Thank you all for taking this issue to heart.

David Lewis, Kalapuya
