Unfortunately, this idea is completely wrong, the only possibility to save a language is two or theefold, first you must have enough people using that language, secon these people must be able to develop things that are needed by the whole world population, so that the others must learn the language. At present time the natural system of dying out of species as well as languages supports teh English language as teh most importasnt in the world, about 25 kanguages die totaly out a year on this earth, so most probably it will be also Estonian. One might compute when some language is due, most probably based on the number of people using that lkanguage, you should tink before you come up with nonsense like this, computer will never save a language spoken by only few...........who gave you this idea????

In 1950, the French language was in trouble in Canada. By the year 2000, it was vibrant.
Some of this can be attributed to the work of the French language bureau in the Province of Quebec. It has developed technical vocabulary in the IT field with spectacular success which is appreciated, even in France.
Ehala is quite correct.

The comparison is not wholly correct, as Estonian lacks the backing of a large extraterritorial community such as France is to Quebec. There is, however, one thing that Estonians could learn from the French Canadians. Their language policy, which has effectivey reduced the socio-economic dominance of English, could be copied to curb the influence of Russian in Estonia. I do not think that English is a real danger to the survival of Estonian, as long as nobody is claiming anything else than a role as a means of international communication. This role is going to become ever more important in the European Community but by far the large majority of European citizens do not want to replace the local languages with English for use on a national level. Many languages that are even "smaller" than Estonian have actually gained prominence in the public domain in recent decades. Think of Welsh, Basque, Ladin (30.000 speakers! in Northern Italy). I wouldn't worry too much about Estonian :-)
