Folk Story There once was a hare who bragged about his speed. Tired of hearing him boast, a turtle named Slow and Steady challenged him to a race. The hare laughed and agreed. All the animals in the forest gathered to see the race. The race started and the hare dashed ahead. When he looked behind him he saw the turtle so far behind him that he decided to take a nap as there was plenty of time to rest. He slept and slept. Finally he was woken by the crowd’s screams. He dashed out and saw the turtle crossing the finish line. Slow and Steady had won the race.

Language Endangerment  “Today, there are about 6,500 human languages and half of them are under threat of extinction within 50 to 100 years. This is a social, cultural and scientific disaster because languages express the unique knowledge, history and worldview of their communities, and each language is a specially evolved variation of the human capacity for communication.” (SOAS, 2005)  Fill out Fishman’s Scale of Language Endangerment with your graduate volunteer Notes about why your language is a certain number

Language Endangerment Scale  1 – Language is alive and flourishing |  8 – Language is almost extinct
