The beginnings of modern linguistics are European and coincide with the European coloni zation of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific islands on the exploitation mode l (different from the settlement model in the Americas and Australia). T he French clearly articulate their "mission civilisatrice" cor responding to the British's "White man's burden." They stipulate that their non-European subjects in the colonies are mentally primitive and their languages primitive and inferior to European langua ges. Missionaries and colonial administrators interested in those langua ges describe them from a European perspective. Although linguistics has evolved in important ways to date, the legacy of these beginnings can st ill be identified in various ways, calling especially on Native linguist s to re-examine various analyses and the practice of the discipline itse lf.
