Language endangerment has been the focus of much attention and as a
result, a wide range of people are working to revitalize and
maintain local languages. This book serves as a general reference
guide to language revitalization, written not only for linguists
and anthropologists, but also for language activists and community
members who believe they should ensure the future use of their
languages, despite their predicted loss. Drawing extensively on
case studies, it sets out the necessary background and highlights
central issues such as literacy, policy decisions, and allocation
of resources. Its primary goal is to provide the essential tools
for a successful language revitalization program, such as setting
and achieving realistic goals, and anticipating and resolving
common obstacles. Clearly written and informative, Saving Languages
will be an invaluable resource for all those interested in the fate
of small language communities around the globe.
