Vanishing Voices: The Tragic Tale of Extinct Languages

Languages are an essential part of human culture and history, but did you know that on average 1 language goes extinct every 14 days? It's estimated that nearly half of the world's 7,000 languages are considered endangered by UNESCO. A language becomes extinct upon the death of its last native speaker, known as the terminal speaker. The most common way a language dies is when communities become bilingual and gradually shift their allegiance to their second language. Not all languages that fall out of common use go extinct, some become dead languages like Latin, still studied and used in specific contexts such as law, science, and religion. In this video, we explore the fascinating subject of extinct and dead languages and the events that create them.
