</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The Tibetosphere is a linguistic area
that includes all regions influenced by the Tibetic languages. It is over five
times the size of Sweden and is spread across six countries - China, Burma,
India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Pakistan - with the vast majority of the region in China. Many of the
non-Tibetic minority languages of this region are presently endangered. The
consequences of declining diversity in the region are still unknown, but given
the region's historical, cultural, and geopolitical significance, this
situation shift merits further investigation. This workshop therefore seeks to
explore the diversity and vitality of the minority languages of the Chinese
Tibetosphere, across three broad themes: ancient trends, contemporary developments,
and future prospects. The workshop will employ UNESCO's nine-factor
model of linguistic vitality as a framework within which to discuss
sociolinguistic trends in the Chinese Tibetosphere. This research is broadly
concordant with the increasing attention being paid to the global crisis in
linguistic diversity. Furthermore, despite broad scholarly interest in language
endangerment in China, no previous studies have dealt with the minority
languages of the Chinese Tibetosphere as a whole. </font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Best,</font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Gerald</font></p>
