	The Politics of A-political Linguistics: Linguists and Linguicide
		The policy of linguicide, enshrined in the constitutions and laws of these states, has not only denied the Kurds linguistic rights but also seriously violated the academic freedom of linguists in and out of the countries where the language is spoken.
		Today, Kurds are legally free to speak in their native tongue in private spaces, but it would be considered a crime against the 'territorial integrity' of the state if a member of the parliament or a political party uses the language in political campaigns, or if the language is used in education or broadcasting.
		Silence about the linguicide of Kurdish or other languages is, I contend, a political position which cannot be justified by claims to the neutrality or autonomy of linguistics.

	BOOK REVIEW: A study of linguicide of the Ukrainian language
		Edited by the leading sociolinguist Larysa Masenko, chair of the Ukrainian language at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, the book is a compilation of texts, essays, and documents that, in their totality, present a picture of the consistent, calculated and relentless colonization of Ukraine in the sphere of language and culture.
		Assessing the damage is an indispensible part of a larger project of building a democratic society in Ukraine free of the legacies of the Soviet colonial past.
		Published with the financial and intellectual support of the Shevchenko Scientific Society (U.S.A.) "Ukrainian Language in the 20th Century: A History of Linguicide" is an important contribution to this cause.

	Sleepyheads on Language Death (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Unlike language change or shift, this is not a slow or natural progression from one language to another; it is a governmentally instigated process by which the government in question hopes to slowly extinguish the use of a particular language.
		This is where several distinction lines between actual linguicide, racism, discrimination, and the attempt by governments to govern the country begins to blur.
		Often times linguicide is instigated by a need for government to provide clarification to the majority of people.

		Language murder or "linguicide," whether it is carried out intentionally or not, is one of the basic tools of ethnocide, of the deculturation of peoples.
		It has always been perpetrated by colonization and is still the semi-official aim of governments which do not recognize the rights of their native minorities.
		As indigenous languages are increasingly excluded from education, "linguicide" is accelerating.

	Linguistic genocide in education - worldwide diversity or human rights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The first part sets the scene for the two following parts: part II problematises linguicide at a more societal level, analysing state policies and globalisation, while part III is about the struggle against linguistic genocide and for Linguistic Human Rights in education.
		On the contrary, I think that socio-cultural background (family, religion), self-interest and limitedness of a large part of the world population –very common in this industrialised world-, beside power and more strategic practices, are decisive factors in the disappearance of linguistic diversity.
		Moreover, when the author makes the distinction between active and passive linguistic genocide, she stresses the role of passive linguicide, which I agree completely with.

		Generally this replacement of one tongue for another occurs through Linguicide, or the intentional replacement of one language with another.
		Although proponents of this belief feel there is justification and reason to make the United States embrace English as their "official language," this is still an act of linguicide.
		For true linguistic scholars, Latin is not considered "dead" for even though it is not spoken as a first language by anyone anymore, it is still the official Language of Rome and Vatican City, and it is also the root of the "Romance Languages," which include French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Catalan.
