The Linguists és un documental, emmarcat dins el projecte per a la preservació de les llengües amenaçades Enduring voices, que ressegueix l’expedició dels lingüistes K. David Harrison i Greg Anderson mentre viatgen de punta a punta del planeta afanyant-se per documentar llengües en perill d’extinció.
Fins ara només havíem pogut veure el tràiler; ara des de Babelgum.com podeu veure el documental sencer:
“Like modern-day explorers, the two academics featured in The Linguists travel to forgotten places around the globe to unearth rare treasures—in this case, endangered languages”.
Concerning the campaign to save endangered and dying languages, you may be interested in the contribution, made by the World Esperanto Association, to UNESCO’s campaign for the protection of endangered languages.
The commitment to this was made, by the World Esperanto Association at the United Nations’ Geneva HQ in September.
