Endangered languages encode plant and animal knowledgec [20070219] More than half of the word's 7000 languages are endangered, because they consist of an unsustainably small and declining speaker base. ... For example, the Siberian Todzhu tribe has many different and complex names for reindeer, according to the animals' life stages. What is called a "chary" by the Todzu, would be translated in English as "a two-year-old male, un-castrated, rideable reindeer".

Paucis diebus plus mille zingari asylum a Finnis petiverunt. Minister rerum interiorum Kari Hkmies magistratus hortatus est, ut petitiones eorum quam celerrime tractarent. Problemata, quae zingari in Slovachia haberent, asylo concesso non solvi. Idem censet causam in Finniam migrandi forsitan esse, quod leges Finnorum asylum petentibus faveant. Illi, quibus asylum negatum est, in Finnia manere possunt, donec tribunal provinciale causam eorum tractaverit, cum e.g. ex Svetia statim expellantur. Incertum est, quae consilia magistratus Finni ad fluctum zingarorum coercendum capturi sint. De viso obligatorio illis imponendo nondum palam loqui voluerunt. (SME) [19990710]
