Title: New Atlas Shows Dying Languages around the World
Body: From http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hKBPHQaS0eXcvtQ1GvHJi2qWq_0AD96ES1MO2 In a presentation Thursday of a new world atlas of endangered languages, linguists stressed the list is not restricted to small or far-flung countries. They also sought to encourage immigrants to treasure their native languages. "Language endangerment is a universal phenomenon," said Christopher Moseley, an Australian linguist who edited the atlas' third edition, which is to appear in digital and paper versions. The atlas says 200 languages have become extinct in the last three generations, and another 199 languages have fewer than 10 speakers left. More than a fourth of the 192 languages once spoken in the United States have disappeared. Another 71 are severely endangered, according to the atlas. Read the entire article at http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hKBPHQaS0eXcvtQ1GvHJi2qWq_0AD96ES1MO2 . UNESCO’s description of its atlas is available at http://www.unesco.org/culture/ich/index.php?lg=EN&pg=00136 . A critique of the new interactive atlas can be read at http://blogs.usyd.edu.au/elac/2009/02/unescos_atlas_of_the_worlds_la_1.html .
