The above link is for an article written by Jon Kalish for NPR. It discusses an ongoing language preservation effort being conducted by the National Yiddish Book Center. This is interesting because it ties into much of what we discussed in class about language preservation as a key to cultural preservation. I used this specific article for my language preservation project, and it gave me a lot of great insight on the purpose of preservation. It also outlines how this preservation effort is attempting to shift into a revitalization effort, which is a really cool prospect for the study of language and politics and how they intertwine.
