Languages matter
More than half of the 7000 languages spoken in the world are in danger of disappearing. Yet, they are an essential part of people’s identity. The United Nations has proclaimed 2008 the International Year of Languages. To find out more, read the February issue of the UNESCO Courier.

FYI, I posted a link to this entry on a list of blogs that mention the International Year of Languages. Among other things, trying to get a picture of the range of interest in the Year.
BTW it will be launched “officially” on International Mother Language Day, Feb. 21.
