"The Yahgan language imitates the language of birds"

Great linguistic summary at the linked article. Yahgan is preserved, so I guess I can stop now.
It will continue to be spoken, to music no less, by the insects and lichens, for the enrichment
of the ecology students and tourists flocking to the area.

Hala yella,
