Description

In the shadow of Mt. Everest, an intrepid band of linguists set out in 1968 to conquer a different but equally as challenging a mountain of sorts. Their goal was to develop the first-ever written language for a remote community of Limbuwan speakers living in northeastern Nepal. Ben's mother, Annita Fischer, recounts some of her first-hand experiences as part of this pioneering team despite seemingly overwhelming odds.
