Episode: Endangered Alphabets: Why Are They Vital? (feat. Tim Brookes)
Description: More than 85% of the world's writing systems are threatened, and with them the entire written record of their culture of origin. How does script loss affect a people--and why are so many cultures working to revive their traditional scripts or create new ones?
Our guest: Tim Brookes is the founder and executive director of the Endangered Alphabets Project. Since 2010 he has given talks/exhibitions about script endangerment at over 150 venues including Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, the Smithsonian, and the Library of Congress.
