[EDLING:1982] Re: NYTimes.com: At Long Last, a Neglected Language Is Put on a Pedestal

[Richard Barwell]

Any effort to promote attention to language seems like a good idea to
me...but I wonder when a language can be considered 'neglected'...if
Portuguese is neglected, what does that make the hundreds of other languages
that most of us have never heard of (many of them found in Brazil, of
course)?
