By: Evangelia Adamou | Series: The MIT Press Essential Knowledge seriesA concise, accessible introduction to language endangerment and why it is one of the most urgent challenges of our times.
58% of the world’s languages—or, approximately 4,000 languages—are endangered. When we break this figure down, we realize that roughly ten percent of languages have fewer than ten language keepers. And, if one language stops being used every three months, this means that in the next 100 years, if we do nothing, 400 more languages will become dormant. In Endangered Languages, Evangelia Adamou, a specialist of endangered languages and a learner of her own community language, Nashta, offers a sobering look at language endangerment and what is truly lost when a language disappears from usage.
Combining recent advances from the Western scientific tradition—from the fields of linguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, language attrition, population genetics, and natural language processing—and insights from Indigenous epistemology, theory, and ethics, Adamou examines a wealth of issues surrounding endangered languages. She discusses where endangered languages are found, including how they are faring in a digital world, why these languages are no longer used, and how communities can reclaim languages and keep them strong. Adamou also explains the impact of language continuity on community and individual health and well-being, the importance of language transmission in cultural transmission, and why language rights are essentially human rights.
Drawing on varied examples from the Wampanoag Nation to Wales, Endangered Languages offers a powerful reminder of the crucial role every language has in the vitality and well-being of individuals, communities, and our world.

Better than canned air
I got this because I got sick or buying canned air. This will pay for itself in a short time if you use canned air often enough. Surprisingly powerful and can even blow some debris from the floor of my garage from a standing position. Different attachments for whatever your need it. Well worth it. As soon as I got it I cleaned all my electronics and was satisfied by how much dust flew out of them. Electronics can now breath again and are performing as they should and are not overheating.

Best portable air dusters on the market - extremely powerful and lightweight! 🙏🏻
As someone who cuts hair, this Wolfbox MF50 has been super useful for keeping my clippers, trimmers, and my station clean.
This is one of my favorite products I have in my kit and overall it’s one of the best investments I’ve made.
The airflow is strong enough to blow hair out of blades and hard-to-reach areas without needing an air compressor and on the go.
It’s compact, rechargeable, and easy to keep at the barber station.
Great tool for barbers or anyone who wants quick cleanup during cuts.
The battery takes a while to recharge but if you plug it in after every use you should have no problems using it all day.

Compact product that will save you money over time.
This is a very impressive product that eliminated the wasteful spending on can air. I do a lot of laser cutting and engraving projects that create a constant need to clear out the find particle in the machine. This air duster provide the correct amount of pressure I needed to clean those areas while not creating addition mess. The attachment are useful to focus the pressure on cleaning out those hard to reach areas. Battery or motor temperature did not get hot and remain constant. The volume of air also stay constant throughout the time of use. This is idea for those that dont have the air compressor, live on a budget, and like quick and easy solutions.

Powerful, Efficient, and Great for Cleaning
This air duster is extremely powerful and does an excellent job cleaning dust from keyboards, electronics, and tight spaces. The high RPM really makes a difference, and it feels much more effective than canned air. It’s rechargeable, easy to use, and saves money in the long run. Very satisfied with the performance and build quality.

Great upgrade from canned air for keyboard and desk cleaning
I picked this up mainly to clean my keyboard and desk setup, and it's done a solid job replacing the canned air I used to constantly restock. No more running out mid-clean or dealing with the cold spray residue; just plug it in and go.
The airflow is strong enough to blast crumbs and dust out from between keycaps with ease. I was impressed by how much junk it pulled out of my keyboard that I didn't even realize was in there. For desk gear like vents, cable ports, and monitor edges, it works really well, too.
The 3-speed settings are handy. I stick to the lower settings for most keyboard work and only bump it up when something is really packed in. Build quality feels decent, and it charges via USB-C, which is convenient.
The reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's a bit louder than I expected at higher speeds. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing going in. Overall, though, it's a smart buy if you're tired of buying canned air on repeat.
