Quote

[Natasha L Warner]

Hi,

I don't know the quote, although I'd be very interested in hearing about
it if you turn it up.  As someone who works on revitalization of a dormant
language, I can't refrain from commenting:  who gets the right to decide
this (what the criteria for some status are) for someone else?  And why?

Thanks,

Natasha Warner
