If they are willing to make the effort on their own, then I say more power to them.

However, I have read that well-meaning efforts at “bilingual” education in the bush villages of Alaska has raised a generation of Alaskan natives who cannot speak properly in either English or their tribal tongues.

Government has to stay out of it, either way.

Agreed.

I certainly don’t care to contribute tax dollars to “save” a language that apparently has no useful purpose.

Just because something exists doesn’t make it “worthy” of heroic and expensive efforts to save it.
