<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Its sad to see that prejudice still endangers
languages in our supposedly civilized world. Not too long ago, indigenous
peoples worldwide faces similar actions on the part of the colonizers,
resulting in the genocidal destruction of cultures, languages, and peoples
that pales what is happening contemporarily. An estimated 90 million indigenous
people were genocidally murdered worldwide. Humans do not seem to
learn from the actions of the past. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Subject: Endangered Language</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=-1>A suggestion: Include Israeli Hebrew. Yes,
there are six plus million native speakers, but with the massive effort on the
part of the Muslim world, the European Union, and Leftist Intellectuals
everywhere to delegitimize Israel and drive this flegeling nation out of its
native Middle East, Hebrew as a living language truly is endangered.
Hebrew, of course, is native only to this one tiny strip of land, and happens
to be the only language endangered by such universal prejudice and intense
genocidal hatred.</FONT></DIV>
