Two of the authors are indigenous and the other two have been participants in the language planning context in these countries. The purpose of the volumes in this series is to present up-to-date information on polities that are not well known to researchers in the field. A longer range purpose is to collect comparable information on as many polities as possible in order to facilitate the development of a richer theory to guide language policy and planning in other polities that undertake the development of a national policy on languages. This volume is part of an areal series which is committed to providing descriptions of language planning and policy in countries around the world. 410 0$aLanguage planning and policy. 606 $aLanguage planning$zAsia 606 $aLanguage policy$zAsia 610 $aJapan. 610 $aNepal. 610 $aTaiwan. 610 $alanguage planning. 610 $alanguage policy. 610 $alinguistic diversity. 610 $anon-indigenous languages. 615 0$aLanguage planning 615 0$aLanguage policy 676 $a306.44/95 701 $aBaldauf$b Richard B.$f1943-$01479160 701 $aKaplan$b Robert B$0115348 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782382903321 996 $aLanguage planning and policy in Asia$93710037 997 $aUNINA
