There are around 7,000 languages spoken in the world, but that number is shrinking. Unesco estimates that half could disappear by the end of the century. So how are languages lost, and what does that mean for the people who speak them?

For any pair of languages there are plenty of subjects where one is clearly inferior to another.
That’s why they have evolved in the first place.
Religion is biological, not cultural. The cultural part associated with it being destroyed doesn’t change human nature.
And leads to uglier religions.
A language and a piece of knowledge are in symbiosis, you can’t just “translate” everything without losing half the meaning.
If your only language is English, then please don’t make statements like this.
I speak 3 languages.
Then it’s even harder to justify.
I do not need to justify myself to you, you are the one who needs to justify your backwards view to me.
And you probably couldn’t answer why, which is why you made a response with absolutely no substance containing no argument.
So I ask again, what is your argument for wanting people to not have the privilege of belonging to a bigger language group?
Since you are putting statements into my mouth, you can invent arguments the same way, do that, I don’t have time
Which languages, out of interest?
Danish, English, German, and also Swedish and Norwegian because they are close to Danish, so I don’t really count those.
