Daniel Nettle is the author The Fyem Language of Northern Nigeria and Linguistic Diversity (OUP). Suzanne Romaine is Merton Professor of English Language at the University of Oxford and is the author of Language in Society: An Introduction to Sociolinguistics (OUP)
Suzanne Romaine has been Merton Professor of English Language at the University of Oxford since 1984.
Few people know that nearly one hundred native languages once spoken in what is now California are near extinction, or that most of Australia's 250 aboriginal languages have vanished. In fact, at least half of the world's languages may die out in the next century. Daniel Nettle and Suzanne Romaine assert that this trend is far more than simply disturbing. Making explicit the link between language survival and environmental issues, they argue that the extinction of languages is part of the larger picture of near-total collapse of the worldwide ecosystem. Indeed, the authors contend that the struggle to preserve precious environmental resources-such as the rainforest-cannot be separated from the struggle to maintain diverse cultures, and that the causes of language death, like that of ecological destruction, lie at the intersection of ecology and politics. In addition to defending the world's endangered languages, the authors also pay homage to the last speakers of dying tongues, such as Red Thundercloud, a Native American in South Carolina; Ned Mandrell, with whom the Manx language passed away in 1974; and Arthur Bennett, an Australian who was the last person to know more than a few words of Mbabaram. In our languages lies the accumulated knowledge of humanity. Indeed, each language is a unique window on experience. Vanishing Voices is a call to preserve this resource, before it is too late.

'a "splendid and disturbing book."'The Irish Times (Dublin)
"[A] superb study of endangered languages.... The tapestry of supportingdetail is every bit as compelling as the central thesis-- from an examination ofhow indigenous languages function as museums of local culture to a history ofthe way in which dominant languages like English,Mandarin, and Spanish havevanquished more vulnerable tongues."--The New Yorker
"Language extinction is a great tragedy for human culture and forscholarship on all things human. This fascinating book is the latest word onthis important issue, containing a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. If we havethe good sense to rescue the priceless legacy of linguistic diversity before itvanishes forever, Vanishing Voices will surely deserve a good part of thecredit."--Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct and Words andRules

Nettle and Romaine paint a breathtaking landscape that shows why so many of the world's languages are disappearing and more importantly, why it matters. They put the problem of linguistic diversity into the wider context of global biodiversity, and propose the revolutionary idea that saving endangered languages is not about dictionaries and educational programs, but about preserving the cultures and habitats of the people who speak them. Along the way it's also a fascinating introduction to how language works: how languages are born, how they die, and how we can prevent their death."-- Deborah Tannen, Georgetown University "[A] superb study of endangered languages....

"Vanishing Voices is an urgent call to arms about the impending loss ofone of our great resources. Nettle and Romaine paint a breathtaking landscapethat shows why so many of the world's languages are disappearing and moreimportantly, why it matters. They put the problem of linguistic diversity intothe wider context of global biodiversity, and propose the revolutionary ideathat saving endangered languages is not about dictionaries and educationalprograms, but about preserving the cultures and habitats of the people who speakthem. Along the way it's also a fascinating introduction to how language works:how languages are born, how they die, and how we can prevent their death."--Deborah Tannen, Georgetown University
Half of all known languages have disappeared in the last five hundred years and 90% of all languages are in danger of becoming extinct during the next century. The loss of both linguistic and biological diversity is part of a much larger and more serious problem - the near-total collapse of our worldwide ecosystem. Romaine and Nettle describe the background of this situation, how the current catastrophe occurred, and what can be done about it.
