It's not just wars that kill of languages, the French and the Italians have been getting their rears handed to them for ages in wars and they're still about. Perhaps a OECD pro-creative language index is needed?

I'm not technical; I can't direct you to a link or any of that stuff. I can say that if you're in my bathroom anytime soon, you'll find it in one of the top three or four issues in the stack.
