Peter K. Austin's Top 10 Endangered Languages

I'm not sure how it's possible to list your "favorite" endangered languages. Around these parts, depending on who you're talking to, you can find us discussing Sercquiais on a Tuesday, Istro-Romanian on a Wednesday, and by the time Thursday rolls around we're trying to figure out whether or not Lenape is extinct (alas, it is). Peter K. Austin, however, seems to have a better sense of his own preferences, as he was able to compile his Top 10 Endangered Languages for The Guardian. (Via.) (SUZANNE)
