Hi guys,from the look of things going on,it can be seen that the number of living languages spoken in the world is dwindling faster than the decline in the planet's wildlife.

Linguists estimate that,worldwide,6,809 languages are spoken,90 percent by fewer than 100,000 people.Languages with fewer than 50 speakers number 357,while 46 are unknown to have just one native speaker.Colonization has caused 52 of the 176 languages of north American tribes,and 31 of the 235 original languages of Australia.

When threats to languages,we're compared in the same way as threats to animals,a substantially higher proportion of languages could be classified as critically endangered or vulnerable.

The threats to birds and mammals are well known but it turns out that languages are far more threatened.

So we have to do something to preserve our language.

Thank you.

And please don't forget to suscribe.
