I agree. It's a shame for any language to die :{.

"If you pass that knowledge on, you are responsible for the outcome. If someone misuses the knowledge you give them, if they use it to hurt someone, you as the person who gave it to them, are responsible for that hurt."

That's an interesting take on dying languages.

While I agree it is a shame for it to die, it is their language and it's their choice. While it would be nice to get it documented for scientists, it's not our call on what they should do.

It always seems to me that there is only a minority of linguists who would seem to be truly interested in documenting living languages, and I don't know why that is so.

Surely the sort of technical advances needed to capture more languages would only do the discipline a service
