| Title | Literacy, Endangerment, and the Ethnologue: An ELL Thread |
| Body | From: SSILA Earlier this month, an interesting discussion thread developed on the Endangered Languages List that may be of interest to the wider SSILA readership. Starting with a query about the percentage of the world's languages that have writing systems, the discussion evolved into a a consideration of what "writing" means in small, traditional speech communities, and finally raised some issues concerning the accuracy of the Ethnologue. Contributors to the discussion included Alasdair MacLeod, Michal Brody, Nick Ostler, Mike Cahill, Julia Sallabank, Russ Bernard, and Eduardo Rivail Ribiero. The full discussion can be found in the ELL archives for December 2003 on the Linguist List website: http://listserv.linguistlist.org/archives/endangered-languages-l.html |
