| | Asia Times - Globalization challenges Asian languages |
| | Abhakorn and Lo Bianco were participants at a conference on language trends in Asia held this month by the National University of Singapore's Asia Research Institute. | | | The discussion focused on the sorts of globalization in Asia today, and whether or not the primary language of an economy is endangering other languages. | | | Against such a background, the future of languages such as Hovongan, in north-central Kalimantan, Indonesia, and Sou, in the southern Laos province of Attapeu, is in peril - each is estimated to have about 1,000 speakers, and thus classified as being endangered by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). |

The hypothesis, or rather, the seemingly unproven assertion, which the book is based on is that Asian orthographies are a detriment to scientific and analytical thought. | | | I must say though, in the case of Chinese, there are other reasons to suspect it really does cause everyday problems for people, but in the cases of Japanese and Korean, I don't think you can argue that at all. |
