book review



In today's Toronto Star, the book "Fading Away: Travels among 
Threatened Languages" is reviewed:

If you have trouble pulling up the link, it's at www.torontostar.com, 
in the A&E (Arts & Entertainment) section, subsection Books.

I haven't read the book. It's about the disappearance of languages in 
the face of cultural and linguistic onslaught, usually by English but 
sometimes by other languages. I like to imagine that a culture-
neutral language like Ceqli could help to prevent this.
