2/ Modern Translation Magazine
current issue: "The Dialect of the Tribe"
"A people’s self-identity springs in large measure from its language. For that reason when one people or nation annexes another, or wishes to homogenize itself, it will control or even seek to exterminate the languages within its frontiers by which difference and variety are signalled and asserted. Stop the language of a people, stop their voice. Without a voice, they are at your mercy.
In this issue of MPT more than 30 ‘dialects’ or minority languages are represented or discussed, some widespread, some very local, all vitally interesting in their poetic speech."
