Losing 50% of the world’s languages by 2100
By the year 2100, many linguists estimate, half of the world’s 6,912
distinct languages will be extinct. At present, 548 of them retain
fewer than ninety-nine speakers. We can expect to lose a language every
ten days; and behind each of these disappearances lies a story of
cultural loss, sadness and isolation. The Times Literary Supplement.
