An excellent piece of work... and generating so much more!
It makes Cambridge look almost as beautiful as the Himalayas.

Hi Nicholas,

In case you'd like to circulate this info to the Ogmios membership, the link below is a nice short video about one man's work in Nepal. He makes a good case for studying endangered languages!

Cheers,
Natalie

Dear All,

If you have not already seen it, I would like to bring your attention to
the Vanishing Voices video on the Cambridge University website.

http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/video/cambridgeideas/vanishingvoices.html

This short film made in conjunction with Cambridge Ideas, an ongoing series
of audio and video productions that present Cambridge University's cutting
edge research, gives a snapshot of Mark Turin's very important fieldwork on
endangered languages and oral traditions in Nepal.

With best wishes,
S.
