    Endangered Native American Languages:
    What Is to Be Done, and Why?
    By James Crawford
    The threat to linguistic resources is now recognized as a worldwide crisis. According to Krauss (1992a), as many as half of the estimated 6,000 languages spoken on earth are "moribund"; that is, they are spoken only by adults who no longer teach them to the next generation. An additional 40 percent may soon be threatened because the number of children learning them is declining measurably. In other words, 90 percent of existing languages today are likely to die or become seriously embattled within the next century. That leaves only about 600 languages, 10 percent of the world's total, that remain relatively secure – for now. This assessment is confirmed, with and without such detailed estimates, by linguists reporting the decline of languages on a global scale, but especially in the Americas, Africa, Australia, and Southeast Asia (Robins & Uhlenbeck, 1991; Brenzinger, 1992; Schmidt, 1990). In formulating a response to this crisis, there are three questions that need to be explored: (1) What causes language decline and extinction? (2) Can the process be reversed? And (3) why should we concern ourselves with this problem? Before attempting to provide answers, it would be helpful to look in detail at the situation of Native American languages in the United States.

    Native American Languages Act of 1990
    P.L. 101-477 (October 30, 1990)
    This federal policy statement recognizing the language rights of American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders was quietly enacted in the waning hours of the 101st Congress. Sponsored by Senator Daniel Inouye, Democrat of Hawaii, the bill passed on a voice vote in both House and Senate without hearings or any vocal opposition. It authorizes no new programs for Native Americans, nor additional funding for existing ones, but is expected to facilitate efforts to preserve indigenous languages. SHORT TITLE
    SEC. 101. This title may be cited as the "Native American Languages Act."
    FINDINGS
    SEC. 102. The Congress finds that— (1) the status of the cultures and languages of Native Americans is unique and the United States has the responsibility to act together with Native Americans to ensure the survival of these unique cultures and languages; (2) special status is accorded Native Americans in the United States, a status that recognizes distinct cultural and political rights, including the right to continue separate identities; (3) the traditional languages of Native Americans are an integral part of their cultures and identities and form the basic medium for the transmission, and thus survival, of Native American cultures, literatures, histories, religions, political institutions, and values;

Native American languages It is not possible to determine exactly how many languages were spoken in the New World before the arrival of Europeans or how many people spoke these languages. Some scholars estimate that the Western Hemisphere at the time of the first European contact was inhabited by 40 million people who spoke 1,800 different tongues. Another widely accepted estimate suggests that at the time of Columbus more than 15 million speakers throughout the Western Hemisphere used more than 2,000 languages; the geographic divisions within that estimate are 300 separate tongues native to some 1.5 million Native Americans N of Mexico, 300 different languages spoken by roughly 5 million people in Mexico and Central America, and more than 1,400 distinct tongues used by 9 million Native Americans in South America and the West Indies.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
    (Redirected from Native American languages Indigenous languages of the Americas (or Amerindian Languages) are spoken by indigenous peoples from the southern tip of South America to Alaska and Greenland , encompassing the land masses which constitute the Americas . These indigenous languages consist of dozens of distinct language families as well as many language isolates . Many proposals to group these into higher-level families have been made by some linguists, but several of these have not been generally accepted.

        Background
        Archeological and DNA evidence suggests that the Americas were peopled by migrants from Siberia about 17,000-10,000 years ago. From Alaska, the descendants of those first migrants went on to people the rest of North and South America . The language or languages spoken by these early migrants, and the process by which the current diversity of indigenous languages in the Americas emerged, are a matter of speculation. Some evidence suggests that the ancestors of the Na-Dene and Eskimo-Aleut speakers arrived separately from Siberia some time after the earliest settlers.

    Native Americans Native American Languages Languages of the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere and their descendants. A number of the Native American languages that were spoken at the time of the European arrival in the New World in the late 15th cent. have become extinct, but many of them are still in use today. The classification Native American languages is geographical rather than linguistic, since those languages do not belong to a single linguistic family, or stock, as the Indo-European or Hamito-Semitic languages do. There is no part of the world with as many distinctly different native languages as the Western Hemisphere. Because the number of indigenous American tongues is so large, it is convenient to discuss them under three geographical divisions: North America (excluding Mexico), Mexico and Central America, and South America and the West Indies. It is not possible to determine exactly how many languages were spoken in the New World before the arrival of Europeans or how many people spoke these languages. Some scholars estimate that the Western Hemisphere at the time of the first European contact was inhabited by 40 million people who spoke 1,800 different tongues.

    In 1929 the linguist Edward Sapir wrote: Few people realize that within the confines of the United States there is spoken today a far greater variety of languages ... than in the whole of Europe. We may go further. We may say, quite literally and safely, that in the state of California alone there are greater and more numerous linguistic extremes than can be illustrated in all the length and breadth of Europe. . . . It would be difficult to overestimate the value of [the technical studies documenting these languages] for an eventual philosophy of speech. Sapir's words celebrate both the diversity of Native American languages and their contribution to the study of one of the most important capacities possessed by human beings: the ability to construct languages. This contribution began to influence linguistic scholarship as early as the sixteenth century. For example, Fray Bernardino de Sahagún and his Aztec colleagues wrote the twelve-volume encyclopedic work entitled General History of the Things of New Spain (c. 1548) entirely in the Nahuatl language. This and other early recordings of Nahuatl gave us our first extensive written record of a polysynthetic language.

    Welcome to the Department of Native American Studies, a unique exploration in Native American intellectual sovereignty.
    Each one of our faculty is deeply committed to the advancement of indigenous knowledge, the social, political and economic self-determination of the indigenous people of the Americas, and the full exercise of indigenous sovereignty. In the NAS Program we conceive and practice the humanities and social sciences as an enterprise of creativity in diversity and the constant search for social justice and cultural democracy. Scholarly rigor and theoretical clarity must be accompanied by an attentive gaze to the needs of the Native American communities to whom we are accountable.Recently, the University and the Department received a gift from the Rumsey Indian Rancheria to create an Endowed Chair in California Indian Studies. The Endowed Chair will help the Department to strengthen its contacts through community/internship programs with California Indian communities and reservations. Undergraduate Program
    The Native American Studies major and minor programs provide a multi-disciplinary introduction to the indigenous cultures of North, Central, and South America. They challenge students to consider issues of cultural diversity, sovereignty, and indigenous knowledge systems in preparation for living in a world of constantly increasing social and cultural complexity. Native American Studies is excellent preparation for careers in teaching, writing, scholarship, law, human services, health, tribal administration, social work, and inter-ethnic relations. Schools and agencies in these areas are looking for students with broad interdisciplinary preparation, who possess knowledge and sensitivity relating to ethnic issues and cultural diversity.
