[edit] Curonian language reference?
Someone from this IP address added the following the Curonian language article:
- "From the 15000 speakers in 1935 only 2500 survived the Second World War. Most of them died during the flight from the Red Army in 1945. In Germany only 8 persons can speak the language, in Baltic areas nobody. A dictionary Curonian - German is in progress."
and also changed the Endangered language, List of extinct languages, and List of endangered languages.
I received this question from Theodore Kloba:
- I have read for years that Curonian was not only long-extinct, but poorly attested. Is there any reference you could add to the article about the surviving community you have mentioned?--Theodore Kloba 20:59, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
I replied:
- hi. the article gave both (conflicting) statements that the language was extinct & still spoken in Germany. the endangered language states that it is still spoken in Germany. this info is coming from a single editor, i believe. i dont know anything about this language, so if this incorrect, please correct it. thanks. – ishwar (speak) 22:13, 2005 August 3 (UTC)
We are curious about where this information about Curonian speakers in Germany comes from. Can you point us in the direction of where to find out more about this? Thank you very much. – ishwar (speak) 22:19, 2005 August 3 (UTC)
