From page 14: “The loss of language diversity diminishes the pool of knowledge from which to draw.”

From page 351: (See endnote #21 on page 351: Russell H. Bernard, “Preserving Language Diversity,” in Cultural Survival Quarterly, Fall 1992, page 15), “Loss of language can also have serious political consequences. As Languages are lost, the COURTS may be less likely to recognize or respect the rights of unique ethnic groups. It is easier to claim someone as a citizen of the dominant nation if he or she speaks only the colonial language.”)
