> Early Writing in Indigenous Languages [Working Title]
> 
> The lion’s share of the world’s living languages face a bleak future. A growing consensus of linguists predicts that by the close of the 21st century 50-90% will disappear. Efforts to reverse this trend are underway worldwide. The purpose of this edited volume is to provide case studies of revitalization efforts at schooling early writing among children between approx. 3 and 12 years in lesser-known languages from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.
