  • I care!

  • @idiomasaur I'm very pleased to hear it too.

  • great perspective on the subject. i also think that efforts should be made to preserve the languages in some form, but hoping that they won't eventually die is a bit optimistic :)

    perhaps it is a sort of natural selection process :)

  • Thanks.

    As you say, i suspect a little natural selection is inevitable. But, it's nice to hope that they can all be preserved, if only digitally :)

  • I think it would be better if there was less languages, but i dont like the idea of losing them, like you said a big database would be very good. :)

  • It would make it a lot easier for us if there were less languages. But, it would be a great pity to see them die out. Once extinct, they can never return :)

  • Around 90. Not trying to be a smartass. :-)

  • Check out the documentary 'The Linguists' - there are people out there making an effort to preserve these languages =)

  • *... I personally **wouldn't** have much against...

    Sorry. :p

  • I think it's rather a good thing that languages are dying. The more languages there are, the harder it is to communicate. I personally would have much against letting my motherlanguage die out -- if the rest of the population in my country did it as well, of course -- to switch into a more international language like English or Spanish. As we live in an age of world wide communication, knowing the same language as others is fundamental.
