DESCRIPTION:The XXI century is bound to witness a mass extinction of langua
 ges\, where approximately 40% of the 7000+ languages of the world are fore
 cast to disappear altogether in the next 100 years. The languages of Brazi
 l are no exception to the grim prediction\, given that roughly 85% of them
  have less than 1000 speakers. I will focus on the Bororo of Central Brazi
 l\, a well-known indigenous ethnicity thanks to the work of Claude Lévi-S
 trauss—in particular in Tristes Tropiques and Le Cru et le Cuit. Through
  a compilation of examples drawn from the Bororo languages and beyond\, I 
 argue\, in line with Krauss (2007)\, that with every dying language\, a un
 ique perspective\, a unique way of understanding\, of relating to\, and of
  interacting with the Universe\, is forever lost. The question that remain
 s is then “Kodi boe ure oino?”\, or\, freely translated “Why does it
  have to be this way?”
