The most dramatic cases are those where only a handful of native speakers remain.3 In these instances, where it is necessary to reconstruct the grammar and lexicon of a usually unwritten variety, the task is not unlike that of the linguistic anthropologists and descriptive linguists who for many years concentrated on a language rather than on its speakers, at the same time developing warm personal relationships with those that they once labeled informants. But the anxiety over language loss and death (Dorian 1981) goes back even further, at least to the major study of language loyalty in the United States carried out by Joshua Fishman (Fishman 1966; Fishman et al. 1964) to try to understand if what was happening to his own native Yiddish was a more general phenomenon.},
