Linguistic Genocide in Education - Or Worldwide Diversity and Human Rights
Over 90% of the world's languages today are threatened, endangered or moribund. They are not doomed to die a natural death. Instead, they are being killed systematically at an enormous rate. We can expect a mare 10% of today's languages to survive by the year 2100. Because language is central for seeing, understanding interpreting, and changing the world, it is easily manipilated and often used as a powerful means of control and domination. The key to stopping linguistic genocide is asking the right question - why, instead of descriptive what and how - and acting so as to put an end to the criminal consciousness industry nowadays widely practiced in evry nook and cranny of the globe.
