The "Tribe Revives Language on Verge of Extinction" was a very interesting article. It was very informative the new ideas about creating dictionaries. One part of the article which states" There were people who had listened to the elders, like Mr. Lane, and there were old recordings, made by anthropologists who came through the West in the 1930s and 1960s, but not much else. Mr. Lane wants to incorporate some of those scratchy recordings into future versions of the dictionary." I do agree that with him that it can build a bridge an ancient language’s roots to younger tribe members and it can sound pretty cool. Actually, the article reminded me of a new version of  Iranian dictionary that so many new words have been taken from ancient texts and by adding and bringing some changes. The words sound pretty fancy and cool. It have been used as new modern dictionary in Iran. It is just fascinating that how little things bring big changes to somethings that you could not even think of. :)
