The Disappearing Languages: Over 1,500 at Risk of Extinction! | WION Podcast

Languages are more than just words—they carry the history, culture, and identity of entire communities. But according to a Nature Ecology and Evolution study, over 1,500 languages could vanish by the end of this century. Researchers estimate that more than half of the 6,500–7,000 languages spoken today are at risk, with language loss tripling in the next 40 years. Factors like migration, financial struggles, and colonial policies have contributed to this crisis. Urgent community documentation and bilingual education efforts are needed to preserve these endangered languages before they disappear forever!
