Abstract:

East and Southeast Asia are home to remarkable linguistic diversity,
yet this diversity is increasingly under threat as political,
economic, cultural, and other social transformations reshape the
region. This volume brings together two introductory chapters and ten
country-focused studies—covering Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong,
Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, and Indonesia—to identify
patterns of language endangerment and marginalization, and to showcase
ongoing revitalization efforts. A distinctive feature of the book is
its use of Lee and Van Way’s (2016) Language Endangerment Index (LEI),
which provides a common framework for balanced comparison across the
communities examined.
Readership: Researchers of endangered languages, whether specialists
in Asia or not; graduate students at various stages of study; any
organization that is interested in the issue of language endangerment.
