Did you know that there are over 6,000 languages and 96% of that is spoken by only 3% (!) of the world’s population? So it is not hard to imagine that more and more languages each day have fewer and fewer speakers. So what can we do? Should we let these languages go extinct as a natural part of the linguistic evolution or should we take measures to preserve them?
