"In Their Own Language is a study of SIL International, an evangelical Christian non-profit founded to translate the Bible into thousands of minority languages. Established in the early 1930s, SIL now operates a global language inventory, hosts a sprawling knowledge base on global linguistics, and has dedicated the last twenty years to producing open source linguistics software. This pamphlet begins with a study of SIL's widely circulated open source font license, and outlines the history that turned one Presbyterian missionary's vision into a linguistics organization with significant political, technological, and typographic influence in the twenty-first century."-- provided by distributor.
