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?

    Gurl the world won’t reach 10bil with the vast majority of countries falling below replacement rate

    We can’t blame colonialism for everything lol

    People stop speaking languages and they die out.

    IMO the world would be a better place if everyone was on the same language
