Abstract:

This volume allows 13 besieged languages to tell their own stories by way of
their consummate battles with languages that dominate their traditional spaces
and ways of thinking. It tells of the value of these languages through
linkages with the past and present and where continuation of this might
further share those values with wider audiences beyond the current language
users. As such, the book captures a discourse on the existence of minority
languages in countries and states where they are under threat by the
‘Governing’ language.
