Description
"The aim of this book is to inform both scholars and the public about the nature and extent of the problem of language decline and death in Africa. The situation of language endangerment in Africa is arguably the most pressing in the world due to the unique and very bleak set of circumstances there today. The book resourcefully traces the main causes and circumstances of language endangerment, the processes and extent of language shift and death, and the consequences of language loss to the continent's rich linguistic and cultural heritage. It outlines some of the challenges that have emerged from the situation."--Jacket.
