	Endangered language
		An endangered language is a language with so few surviving speakers that it is in danger of falling out of use.
		Some languages, such as those in Indonesia may have tens of thousands of speakers but be endangered because children are no longer learning them, or speakers are in the process of shifting to using the national language Indonesian (or a local Malay variety) in place of local languages.
		In contrast, a language with only 100 speakers might be considered very much alive if it is the primary language of a community, and is the first (or only) language of all children in that community.

	LG102 Intro Sociolinguistics: Notes on Language Shift, Death and Rights (Peter L Patrick, University of Essex) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Language death is the extreme case: the complete disappearance of a language.
		By 1832 the last free Tasmanians were put in a concentration camp by the British, while fugitives were killed for sport by bounty hunters; by 1876 all had died, except for cases of intermarriage.
		Language shift and death is typically focused on as a minority-language phenomenon, though it doesn’t have to be.

	Darwin-L Message Log 2: 1-35 (October 1993)
		Language is not language unless it is used to communicate among individuals.
		In that article the author mentioned that roughly 10,000 years ago the Tasmanians were cut off from the rest of the Australians by the change in sea level and as they lacked suitable boats to cross the strait, their culture was essentially isolated until the arrival of the Europeans.
		Their consonantal system was comparable to one of the simpler mainland languages, with perhaps four points of articulation for plosives and nasals....There seems not to have been any distinction of voicing...and there were no fricatives other than possibly _gh_ or _h_.

		It was in 1997 that the Tasmanian government released its framework for the future of education in the state.
		We talk now about ‘literacy’ instead of ‘language’, and ‘literacies’ and ‘multi-literacies’ The earlier emphasis on the developmental stages of children’s progress and the influences of the developmentally appropriate curriculum (Bredekamp, 1987) in the 1980 are evident in these documents.
		The moves from a ‘whole language’ approach, when minimal skills were taught and an immersion in the joys of literature was the prime method for children acquiring language, have also signalled change.

	Oceania: Aboriginal Tasmanians, The
		There exists a majority of Tasmanian Aborigines who reject its use because it has an unsound history, and has not been discussed by the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as to whether it is to be used or rejected.
		Tasmanian Aborigines believe that they emerged from their traditional lands, and that they belong to the original essence of the law of the land.
		For example, the Tasmanian Aboriginal Land Council (TALC) was established in 1983 according to Ryan, and a history involving TALC continues in her version up until 1989 when the TALC was actually established.
