Yeah, I've seen the book written about online ;_; I don't get these people who do stuff like this (the Sami/Lappish languages, and Greenlandic, suffer from the same thing). If you want your tiny language to survive, and want people to know about it, then why make people pay to learn all about it? What if I live in some third-world country and am browsing the internet on my mobile and don't have money to buy your $40 book?! Okay that's not me, but I'm still unemployed and can't afford it! Commercialism and capitalism, I tell you! ; P But for all they know, if I had the money to get the resources I'd become that one guy who somehow revitalizes the language, you know?
Hmm, someone should make some pop songs or rap or something haha. Yeah, I also think if you want most people to not get the "wow, a really primitive language (spoken by uneducated people)" feeling, you should have a translation to normal English instead of to broken English. We just have a big complex about speaking our language perfectly that runs pretty deep... A lot of people already think that "there's nothing another language can say that English can't" so then when they do have contact with another language and it's translated as broken...
