Languages Preservation Program (USA Today) "Every two weeks or so the last elderly man or woman with full command of a particular language dies. At that rate, as many as 2,500 native tongues will disappear forever by 2100."
"David W. Lightfoot is helping spearhead a government initiative to preserve some of these dying languages, believing each is a window into the human mind that can benefit the world at large."
"Languages aren't just words, linguists say, but a people's way of looking at the world." 8-05
