Tongue tied

Article Abstract:

Key linguistic information is erased as native languages disappear faster than scientists can document them. The US National Science Foundation and National Endowment for the Humanities established the $4.4-million Documenting Endangered Language project since it is believed that small and endangered languages display rare characteristics that help linguists understand the limits and versatility of language and might also contain knowledge about nature and offer insights into human migration.
