There are over 6000 languages remaining in the world. We lose one every two weeks. Hundreds will be lost within the next generation. By the end of this century, half of the world’s languages will have vanished.
We’re losing a language every two weeks now. We’ll lose half the languages on earth in the next sixty years. It is not natural to be losing languages at this rate – it is because of the incredible rapidity of globalization through the internet and other digital means.
