[ga] The Domain of Language

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been mulling over this article by Younger since I have been in the only Asian Language Country using the "Western" aphabet;

I understand the integrity of languages and their need to survive in order that subcultures survive. And I cannot think of a duller world than one with one language, OTOH Asean and Asem both uses one language and the huge Asia-Eruo summit just concluded here in Hanoi used English. Does internationalizing a language protect the people or further isolate them? Should tradition or nutrition and health come first?

 

Perhaps, food for thought.
