Title: Students Study to Speak Nearly Lost Native American Languages
Body: From http://www.katu.com/news/local/39565822.html Students study to speak nearly lost Native American languages By SHELBY MARTIN February 13, 2009 EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - When his foreign language instructor says something, University of Oregon freshman Carson Viles knows it's important to pay attention. "I might never get a chance to hear that phrase again," he said. It's true. Viles is taking Yakama Sahaptin, one of a family of American Indian languages spoken along the Columbia River and offered for the first time this year at the UO. The class, taught by native speaker and Yakama elder Virginia Beavert, is not a typical foreign language class. There are no textbooks, no study-abroad programs, no dubbed TV shows, and the instructor is one of only 200 people who can converse in the target language.
