- A new language in the remote northern region of India was documented this week. The language is called Koro: CBC News - Technology & Science - Hidden language found in India
- The Nobel Prizes have been awarded this week, which is always so amazing to me: http://nobelprize.org/index.html
- I am currently reading a book called, "Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings", by Christopher Moore (a pretty entertaining novel, if you want to know), and so found this website endlessly entertaining. You can listen to the deep sea and hear 26 different whale and dolphin songs (be patient): http://listentothedeep.net/

Interesting to find that there are 6910 documented languages in the world!! I'm intrigued by how this small community maintained a distinct language while sharing cultural and lifestyle practices with the surrounding communities. Language and culture are so closely tied together that when one changes, usually cultural practices, then the other (language) follows - but this community presents an anomaly. Thank you for sharing!
