Sustaining Linguistic Diversity by Teresa L Mccarty
Presents an overview of work in defining, documenting, and developing the world's smaller languages and language varieties. This book shows how we define endangerment - how languages and language varieties are best classified, what the implications of such classifications are, and who should have the final say in making them.-

Sustaining Linguistic Diversity is an excellent contribution to the growing literature dealing with language endangermentIt provides a thoughtful and reflective approach not only to the overarching questions related to language endangerment, but also in-depth analysis of a number of challenging and often puzzling case studies. This is a book that any serious applied linguist ought to read. Language Problems and Language Planning [The] diversity of the material, the inclusion of plenty of varied linguistic data, tables and charts, and the range of viewpoints offered make this a refreshing book that will be enjoyed and valued by many.
