"...Linguist Ken Hale has compared the loss of a language to "dropping a bomb on a museum," destroying a culture, intellectual wealth, a work of art."


Recently I was listening to this programme, titled : "Can threatened or dying languages be revived?"

What do you think about it?

Do you find 'language' an interesting topic to talk to your friends?
Do you think its worth any value of your time by reading, finding facts or getting to know more about it?

If it was me at my early youthful age, I'll definately discard it because its not FUN at all.

As you get to know it better, it seems language has a varse history and importance of value to learn from. Whether is knowledge or what ever common sense?!

Anyway... if you refer back to the sentence posted and stated on that programme, which I've heard... IF you notice the phrase "... a work of art"

ART?... language is part of art?!
Do you find language is form of art indirectly?

hmmm... what is the real purpose of art anyway.

















Hans Christian Andersen Museum

It is weird to have a language Museum?
Do you think Language needs a design to represent it?


First of all, I found the layout of this building quite weird.
Does it speak of the 'language' that it wishes to express itself, about the person who has been a contributing element of 'language' to history itself?













The entrance for this building is quite interesting.
If you read the info on the website, it actually paints out a unique picture?
