A short article about the Kusunda language, spoken in Nepal by one 75 year old woman. Not just a language, but a language isolate which is about to go extinct.

Gosh. And she works as a stone-crusher!
I wonder what the researchers have collected from her. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Maybe the good people at Assimil can commission her to assist in the creation of Le Kusunda sans peine.

Wow. This is incredibly sad. I hope those researching the language have some success while she is still living.
