In the last three decades the field of endangered and minority languages has evolved rapidly, moving from the initial dire warnings of linguists to a swift increase in the number of organizations, funding programs, and community-based efforts dedicated to documentation, maintenance, and revitalization. Sustaining Linguistic Diversity brings together cutting-edge theoretical and empirical work from leading researchers and practitioners in the field. Together, these contributions provide a state-of-the-art overview of current work in defining, documenting, and developing the world's smaller languages and language varieties. The book begins by grappling with 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. The contributors then turn to the documentation and description of endangered languages and focus on best practices, methods and goals in documentation, and on current field reports from around the globe. The latter part of the book analyzes current practices in developing endangered languages and dialects and particular language revitalization efforts and outcomes in specific locations. Concluding with critical calls from leading researchers in the field to consider the human lives at stake, Sustaining Linguistic Diversity reminds scholars, researchers, practitioners, and educators that linguistic diversity can only be sustained in a world where diversity in all its forms is valued.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of endangered languages with a global coverage. It features such well-known specialists as Michael Krauss, Willem F. H. Adelaar, Denny Moore, Colette Grinevald, Akira Yamamoto, Roger Blench, Bruce Connell, Tapani Salminen, Olga Kazakevich, Aleksandr Kibrik, Jonathan Owens, David Bradley, George van Driem, Nicholas Evans, Stephen A. Wurm, Darrell Tryon and Matthias Brenzinger. The contributions are unique in analysing the present extent and the various kinds of language endangerment by applying shared general indicators for the assessment of language endangerment. Apart from presenting the specific situations of language endangerment at the sub-continental level, the volume discusses major issues that bear universally on language endangerment. The actual study of endangered languages is carefully examined, for example, against the ethics and pragmatics of fieldwork. Practical aspects of community involvement in language documentation are discussed, such as the setting up of local archives and the training of local linguists. Numerous case studies illustrate different language shift environments with specific replacing factors, such as colonial and religious conquests, migrations and governmental language education. The book is of interest to students and scholars of linguistics with particular focus on endangered languages (and their documentation), typology, and sociolinguistics as well as to anthropologists and language activists.

The Southwest Pacific from Southern China through Indonesia, Australia and the Pacific Islands constitutes the richest linguistic region of the world. That rich resource cannot be taken for granted. Some of its languages have already been lost; many more are under threat. The challenge is to describe the languages that exist today and to adopt policies that will support their maintenance.

The Routledge Handbook of Endangered and Minority Languages addresses the urgent need for comprehensive language documentation and a deeper understanding of language identity, emphasizing the preservation of endangered languages. This book argues that safeguarding linguistic diversity enriches global cultural heritage and knowledge. By meticulously documenting minority languages, we not only preserve words and grammar but also the unique cultural narratives they carry. The book also introduces new language learning paradigms that recognize the complexities of multilingual societies, advocating for educational systems that embrace the diverse linguistic backgrounds of students. These approaches aim to create more inclusive and effective learning environments by valuing multilingualism. Exploring the fluid nature of language identity, the book examines how sociopolitical contexts and technology influence it, calling for policies that respect linguistic rights and promote social cohesion. It presents case studies from diverse regions, including the Pacific, Nordic countries, Cornwall, Pakistan, the UAE, and more, offering practical strategies for language preservation and revitalization. Groundbreaking insights into the use of digital tools, social media, and AI in language preservation, along with the challenges and successes of various revitalization efforts, make this book a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and policymakers committed to fostering linguistic diversity and equity worldwide.
