	Special Report: Defying the Silence, endangered languages trying to hang on : ICT [2003/06/26]
		Most linguists agree that even American Indian languages which still have significant populations that currently speak the languages, such as Navajo, with some 100,000 speakers and Cherokee; whose speakers number around 10,000; are in various states of decline.
		This prompts some experts in linguistics to theorize that all American Indian languages are in some stage of decay and that a language like Navajo is just in an earlier stage of this decline, perhaps some 40 to 50 years behind the California Indian languages.
		From the languages that survived long enough and were at least generally recorded by linguists, it is apparent that California has a veritable gold mine of languages, which feature representatives from most North American language families.

	MARC Code List for Languages
		Additional codes for individual languages are created from time to time when it becomes apparent that a significant body of literature in a particular language already exists, or when it is determined that the amount of material in a language is growing.
		While some individual languages are given their own unique code, although linguistically they are part of a language group, many individual languages are assigned a group code, because it is not considered practical to establish a separate code for each.
		Ancient languages which are not given unique codes are assigned the code for the major language group to which each belongs, rather than the code for the modern language which evolved from the ancient language.
