SUMMARY
"VANISHING VOICES is well-written and engaging, and it makes you feel that something unique and irreplaceable is being lost whenever a language dwindles into oblivion. The book has photos of the last speakers of several languages, including Briton Ned Maddrell, who took the ancient language Manx to his grave in 1974, and Red Thundercloud, the last speaker of Catawba Sioux, who died in 1996."Nettle, Daniel is the author of 'Vanishing Voices The Extinction of the World's Languages', published 2002 under ISBN 9780195152463 and ISBN 0195152468.
