Kaplan (applied linguistics, U. of Southern California) and Baldauf (TESOL, U. of Queensland, Australia) present three language policy and planning polity studies related to three countries in Asia as well as a study of the modernization of Chinese characters--the dominant script form in the region--in the digital era. Two of the contributing authors are indigenous; the other two have been participants in the language planning context in these countries. Each study explains the linguistic diversity, the historical and political contexts and the current language situation. The studies raise issues about overcoming widespread illiteracy; the challenges of selecting, standardizing, and modernizing character systems; the increasing use of, demand for, and teaching of English as a first foreign language; and the status of minority languages in each of these polities.
