There are about 6,000 languages that are spoken around the world. But 43 percent of these languages are dying out, according to UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). If no action is taken, some of these languages will disappear.
Languages become endangered for many reasons. One is that some communities of native speakers of the endangered languages disappear, Huff Post reported. These people sometimes leave their communities and move to cities.
In addition, the languages of "dominant(占主导地位的)" cultures may drive other languages into extinction(灭绝), To get better education and jobs, young people have to focus their attention on learning dominant languages rather than their own languages.
Once a language dies out, it rarely comes back to life. Governments across the world are taking action to prevent this. In September, the US state of Alaska said that the loss of native languages was a hurry-up thing. It is now working to give new life to such languages, Quartz reported.
