A tongue that is not spoken will shrivel into extinction. This is not a fate which appeals to K. David Harrison, of Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. But Dr Harrison is an optimist. He believes information technology--something seen by many people as a threat to linguistic diversity--might actually turn out to be its saviour.
