Preface
The present volume aims to familiarize interested readers with the extent
and variation of the accelerating phenomena of language endangerment.
They will find global overviews on endangered languages in chapters
dealing with all major geographic regions of the world. These contribu-
tions provide insights into the specific areal dynamics of language endan-
germent, past and present. In addition, the authors discuss numerous key
issues concerning the documentation of endangered languages. This book
is aimed not only at scholars and students from the various sub-disciplines
of linguistics, but also addresses issues that are relevant to educators, lan-
guage planners, policy makers, language activists, historians and other re-
searchers in human science.
The volume comprises updated versions of presentations from the
Colloquium
Language Endangerment, Research and Documentation –
Setting Priorities for the 21st Century
held in Bad Godesberg from Feb-
ruary 12
th
–17
th
, 2000 and sponsored by the
Volkswagen Foundation
. Be-
sides the present publication, the colloquium had a substantial impact on
the genesis of the UNESCO report
Language Vitality and Endanger-
ment
, as well as the
Recommendations for Action Plans
. Between 2001
and 2003, a UNESCO ad-hoc expert group on endangered languages
(co-chaired by Akira Yamamoto and Matthias Brenzinger) collaborated
with the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Section in Paris to draft
a preliminary version.
I wish to thank the
Volkswagen Foundation
for their financial support
in organizing the colloquium. Thanks also to Monika Feinen, cartogra-
pher at the Institut für Afrikanistik, University of Cologne, for her pro-
fessional contribution. I would like to thank Anke Beck (Mouton de
Gruyter) for her sustained support in this enduring publishing project.
Thanks are also due, of course, to the authors of the volume and to all col-
leagues who contributed by sharing their experience in the study of en-
dangered languages. I am particularly grateful to the
Research Institute
for Languages and Cultures of Asia and Africa
at the
Tokyo University of
Foreign Studies, Tokyo
for enabling me to finish the book manuscript dur-
ing my stay there as a visiting professor in 2005 – 06.
