<DIV>Here is another voice (rather than just a watcher of your
communications). The Sacramento, California Bee today had a from page story on
the language issues. The story "Experts spreading the word:Save dying
languages" has a byline of Randolph E. Schmid, AP. There is a trailer that
refers readers to <A href="http://www.sacbee.com/links">www.sacbee.com/links</A>
to read more and use an interactive map. Sadly, there is no local follow
bringing the information closer to home as there are many communities in
California where native speakers are trying to keep alive, and in some cases
rekindle, traditional languages.</DIV>
