Fwd: Debate over Languages

[Doug Whalen]

>
>Dear Sir or Madam,
>
>Lingva Prismo (http://www.lingvo.info/?lingvo=en) is a multilingual
>website for and about languages. Each month we discuss different current
>linguistic issues in our forum "Topic of the Month"
>(http://www.lingvo.info/forumo/?lingvo=en) and we thought that either
>you or someone else within your organisation may be interested in
>contributing to our debate.
>
>Our topic for August is:
>In many countries around the world the dominance of certain languages
>has excelled, to the detriment of other languages, through human
>interference.  This can frequently and clearly be seen within the
>education system and professional world. The situation in Tibet is used
>as an example.
>
>Is control through languages discrimination or can it be justified for
>economic and political reasons?
>
>We hope to hear from you through our forum!
>
>Yours kindly,
