languages dying

Here is an Al-Jazeera piece entitled Languages in Danger of Dying Out about how in some parts of the world, certain languages are in danger of disappearing altogether and how important it is to do something to save them.

As Wade Davis, an anthropologist who roams the world as an explorer-in-residence at the National Geographic Society, wrote: "Every language is an old-growth forest of the mind, a watershed of thought, an ecosystem of spiritual possibilities."
