UNESCO: Half Of World’s Languages Will Be Gone By End Of Century

UNESCO is predicting that half of all languages will be
gone by the end of this century. Over 2,000 of the
world's 7,000 languages have fewer than 1,000 native
speakers, according to data from the UN group.
The Amazon rainforest, sub-Saharan Africa, Oceania,
Australia and Southeast Asia will lose the most
languages, according to the Alliance for Linguistic
Diversity's Endangered Languages Project. But the
United States will lose hundreds of indigenous
languages as well if it doesn't make an effort to
restore them, UNESCO says. Most indigenous
languages are spoken on the West Coast and on
Native American reservations in the Midwest.
