- Of the nearly 7,000 tongues spoken today on Earth, more than half may be gone by century's end, victims of cultural changes, ethnic shame, government repression, and other factors. Associate Professor of Linguistics K. David Harrison, a key figure in the race to document and revitalize these languages, recently unveiled an effective new tool for this work - talking dictionaries - at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Realistically who is financing this sort of work? Seemingly most of the minority languages are approached by missionary agenda linguists (who are hugely funded by bible translation agencies). Where is the impartial field linguist with no agenda getting the backing?
Don't know don't care
