    I cannot but agree with facts. The current situation is most regretable,
    though.

    (fwd media link)

    I'd blame the legislation rather than the court. The court's decision that
    Yup'ik is not a "historically written language" appears to be correct as the
    term is intended. It is the Alaska legislature that is really at fault for
    restricting written assistance in languages other than English to languages
    that are "historically written".
