According to the UNESCO World Atlas of Languages, only half of today’s languages will still exist by the end of the 21st century! 😳
But why do languages die out?
- The language is not passed on to younger generations
- The native speakers die out
- Many indigenous languages are only passed down verbally
- Globalization: global trade is mostly conducted in English, which is why linguistic minorities are becoming less important in the economic sphere
- War, persecution and natural disasters can wipe out entire populations of native speakers
Linguistic diversity preserves our identity and culture! 🏛️
Translating content into different languages helps to maintain them.
