ELL: Re: Dying Languages List

Fri Jun 1 07:26:11 UTC 2001

Thanks to you all for the lists!Though working with language, I'm not a
professional in the field of endangered languages, got struck by this
subject through assessing 'vanishing voices' for a Dutch publishing company
some months ago, so I do not even have this particular book itself...

Lists will be very useful, thanks once again.
