Not all Native American (or American Indian or whatever else is preferred by the group or individual) languages are dying out. Many are, and I haven’t heard that any are doing WELL, but there are communities that use them that will likely stick around for a long while.

Cursive IS inappropriate for formal typed works. However, even if native-born Americans don’t use it much, it likely won’t die out, even for use in writing American English, because of all the other countries that have the same alphabet that we do but still use cursive extensively. I have had several foreign-born Hispanic co-workers with BEAUTIFUL cursive handwriting (even the men). Their spelling was atrocious (not their fault… English is tough, etc., etc.) but their handwriting was great. Whether cursive writing will make a return, I don’t know, but with the numbers of immigrants – and the resulting non-English-speaking but Latin-alphabet-using communities, cursive writing is probably here to stay for a while at least.

Otherwise: An extremely useful website. This is definitely going into my bookmarks for future reference.
