DESCRIPTION:How did the most linguistically diverse city in history come to
  be\, and—given mounting threats—how did it reach its peak diversity t
 oday? Linguist\, translator\, Stanford alum\, and Co-Director of the Endan
 gered Language Alliance (ELA)\, Ross Perlin will share how the ELA has map
 ped and documented Jewish languages in New York and explore the lives of e
 veryday speakers of endangered languages.\n\nJoin this year's Clara Sumpf 
 lecturer\, Ross Perlin\, for a day of scholarship.\n\n4:00 PM The Terrace 
 Room\n\nLanguage City: The Fight To Preserve Endangered Mother Tongues\n\n
 Over 700 of the world’s 7000-plus languages are spoken in contemporary N
 ew York\, including many that are endangered\, Indigenous\, primarily oral
 —and little documented. Driven by new forms of mobility and migration an
 d the diasporization of nearly every ethnolinguistic group\, many other hy
 perdiverse cities (and increasingly diverse suburbs) are not far behind. I
 n his new book Language City: The Fight to Preserve Endangered Mother Tong
 ues in New York\, linguist Ross Perlin tells the linguistic history of a c
 ity and the last-minute efforts of linguists and speakers. He also follows
  six remarkable yet ordinary speakers of endangered languages deep into th
 eir communities\, from New York’s outer borough neighborhoods to village
 s on the other side of the world\, to learn how they are maintaining and r
 eviving their languages against the odds. How did the most linguistically 
 diverse city in history come to be\, and—given mounting threats—is pea
 k diversity today?\n\n \n\nThese events are co-sponsored with the Center f
 or Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity.
