<p class="MsoNormal">Can someone point me to a neat set of statistics relating to the benefits of speaking an indigenous language, in terms of lower incarceration rates, lower suicide rates, better health outcomes etc etc. I’ve heard a lot of anecdotal stuff
and some figures I now can’t locate. I want to have something concrete for a language endangerment class.<o:p></o:p></p>
