Emigrant language loss is the sacrifice of knowledge that should be passed down, love that should be experienced and cultural memory that should be recorded.

Very interesting that I am reading 2 non-fic unrelated books and both condemn/chastise Trump in different ways, for different things...

Most of these 23 languages have become dominant thanks to their colonial histories and written traditions.

Beautiful author note

In this book, the words all belong to the multilingual speakers I interviewed, and they represent the only point that I really want to emphasize: that all languages belong to all of us.
