Episode 3: Judie Maxwell, part 2, on Language Death and Vitality

In this episode, we continue our conversation with Judie Maxwell of Tulane University. We start by talking about "the language split by a river" in Guatemala, and then we explore how languages dwindle down to a single speaker. We then discuss reasons why some people refuse to speak their language and about "safe domains" for a language, as well as the role schools can play in the vitality of languages.
