Ed and Cara discuss what is Language Death. With a language dying about every two weeks, preserving and recording these languages is of the utmost importance. We discuss different ways languages die (Gradual Language Death, Bottom-to-Top Language Death, Sudden Language Death and Radical Language Death). We also discuss dialect stigmatism and standardization in France.
