Abstract:
The aim of this book is to inform both scholars and the public about the nature

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. The book outlines some of the challenges that have emerged out of the
situation.
