FYI:

Today's New York Times has this article on dying languages:
http://www.nytimes.com/library/world/americas/051699lost-languages.html

Actually, the article comes from the Associated Press.

It starts thus:

With World Opening Up, Languages Are Losers
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PAMPA HERMOSA, Peru -- As she tickles her two squealing grandchildren, the
woman with the long gray hair forgets herself in her joy and begins speaking
in her native Chamicuro tongue.
