"A stimulating work on the politics of language." LA Review of Books
As globalisation continues languages are disappearing faster than ever, leaving our planet's linguistic diversity leaping towards extinction. The science of how languages are acquired is becoming more advanced and the internet is bringing us new ways of teaching the next generation, however it is increasingly challenging for minority languages to survive in the face of a handful of hegemonic 'super-tongues'.
In Speak Not, James Griffiths reports from the frontlines of the battle to preserve minority languages, from his native Wales, Hawaii and indigenous American nations, to southern China and Hong Kong. He explores the revival of the Welsh language as a blueprint for how to ensure new generations are not robbed of their linguistic heritage, outlines how loss of indigenous languages is the direct result of colonialism and globalisation and examines how technology is both hindering and aiding the fight to prevent linguistic extinction.
Introducing readers to compelling characters and examining how indigenous communities are fighting for their languages, Griffiths ultimately explores how languages hang on, what happens when they don't, and how indigenous tongues can be preserved and brought back from the brink.

Stylish, Comfortable, and Great Quality
Color: Brown
I am absolutely in love with this chair! The brown leather looks very premium and fits my home office aesthetic perfectly. It was easy to assemble and feels very sturdy. The lumbar support is just right for long working hours, and the rocking feature is a nice bonus. Definitely worth the price!

This brown leather office chair is a great balance of comfort, style, and functionality. The rich brown tone gives it a classic look that elevates my workspace.The leather feels super smooth and high quality. Very easy to put together. It feels sturdy and well-built, with adjustable height. Size is just right for most offices. I love this chair, definitely an excellent choice.

Not the most comfortable but nice chair.
Nice quality chair but it’s hard and uncomfortable. Hopefully I will wear it in.

Good quality, but hard
Color: Brown
The leather and metal seem to be of very good quality. My son bought this as his office/study chair. He is starting medical school and liked the professional look of this chair. He is 6’ tall and 200lb. There does not seem to be an issue with the chair rolling even with his weight. The chair is very ‘hard’ not that comfortable if you need to sit in it for long periods. Since my son needs to be staying awake to study, this will work for him as he won’t be able to get too comfortable and fall asleep.
