36 university of nebraska press | Contributing to the World’s Library for 75 Years The world’s linguistic diversity is diminishing, with more than two hundred languages declared extinct and thousands more endangered. As these languages disappear, deep stores of knowledge and cultural memory are also lost. The scholarly significance of these endangered and extinct languages and literacies provides the impetus for this collaborative initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The following books are published by the University of Nebraska Press as part of the Recover- ing Languages and Literacies of the Americas (RLLA) initiative, generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. For more information about the RLLA initiative, visit recoveringlanguages.unl.edu/press.html
