languages dying

mar 29th, 2009

monoculture is bad in anything: religion, language, agriculture. diversity is good. so the disappearance of languages is something to be regretted.

It is estimated that a language dies every 14 days. Currently 2,500 are endangered.

I would like to increase the awareness of this situation and document some of the dying cultures. I NEED YOUR HELP.

I entered a contest to win your dream photography assignment. My idea is to document some of these cultures. I need to receive the top 20 number of votes to get to the judging stage.

You can see my idea and vote for it at:
