PUBL.- Endangered Languages, Migration and Marginalisation

The Foundation for Endangered Languages held its ninth conference in 
November
2005 in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Its theme was the marginalisation of
languages due to histories of migration, especially in Africa, but also in
Siberia and other parts of Europe, Asia and Australia.

Its proceedings are now available, entitled "Creating Outsiders: Endangered
Languages, Migration and Marginalisation" and edited by Nigel Crawhall and
Nicholas Ostler (ISBN 0-9538248-7-X)

It is an 184-page volume, and the contents look like this:
