The book Plea For An American Language by Elias Molee is a persuasive argument for the creation and adoption of a distinct American language. The author contends that while English is the dominant language in the United States, it is not reflective of the unique culture and history of the country. Molee argues that a new language, which incorporates elements of Native American languages, Spanish, and other immigrant languages, would better represent the diverse and multicultural nature of America. The book explores the history of language in the United States, the challenges of creating a new language, and the potential benefits of doing so. Molee also addresses the practical considerations of implementing a new language, such as education and government policies. Overall, Plea For An American Language is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of the role of language in American society and the potential for linguistic innovation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
