Another view of endangered languages X. Ladefoged, P. Volume 68 , 1992. abstract bibtex Language seldom publishes opinion pieces, such as that of Hale, Krauss, Watahomigie, Yamamoto, Craig, Jeanne, & England 1992 on endangered lan- guages. I have nothing but praise for the work that these linguists do. But language preservation and maintenance is a multifaceted topic on which dif- ferent opinions are possible. The views expressed in these papers are contrary to those held by many responsible linguists, and would not be appropriate in some of the African countries in which I have worked in the last few years. Tanzania, for example, is a country which is striving for unity, and the spreading of Swahili is regarded as a major force in this endeavor. Tribalism is seen as a threat to the development of the nation, and it would not be acting responsibly to do anything which might seem, at least superficially, to aid in its preser- vation.
