Rampant language shift to colonial languages like English or Indonesian means that most languages in the region will disappear within the next century, and with each one a library of its culture’s history and knowledge of the natural world. Exploring the 7,000 natural experiments represented by the world’s languages is an immense task, and yet such work can ‘give the impossible a chance’ by discovering design solutions previously thought not to exist.
