Re: [Racism Against Indigenous Peoples] The death of language? / Sacred Numbers

I wonder where the word "Tsumani" given name to area and now to quakes-huge one; and if and if's - it may mean 'big - mother - rolling around...,' so 'tsu = TSO=big and ma = mother/moving and na = horizontal rollong'; if the Dene/Dine (Athabaskan - Sino-Tibetan) is one of the mother tongue then dying of that language base is not possible...., Thank and have a gooder one,

The death of language?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8311000/8311069.stm

By Tom Colls  Today programme An estimated 7,000 languages are being spoken around the world. But that number is expected to shrink rapidly in the coming decades. What is lost when a language dies? In 1992 a prominent US linguist stunned the academic world by predicting that by the year 2100, 90% of the world's languages would have ceased to exist.
