COMMENTS: many of my teachers were former nuns
Above all, I'm interested in throroughly documenting endangered languages so that when more theories relevant to universal grammar arise, they can be disproven if, say, they can't be applied to, for example, Southern Saami, Manx or Mapudungun.
But it's true that I'd like to see less languages die out. Maybe I should write my own entry on this.

You'd like to see FEWER languages die out, you mean.
