Project Aims to Catalogue Endangered Languages

English,German,Spanish,Mandari n,Hundustani and possibly French cover most of the globe!

Fascinating. When a language disappears so does that culture and its traditions. The commonlity of the language binds other parts of the group - so music arts literature culture traditions etc

Do you sometimes think about the cultures and traditions that went extinct before these restorative endeavors have taken place? It's a scary thought sometimes. Here we are, spending a plethora of money on explorations of outer space and the search for life elsewhere and we haven't even found out everything there is to know about ourselves yet.

very insightful. you know, the only way for languages to survive is for those few speakers to build a wiki encyclopedia for them. i think pretty much everything but english and chinese ought to be considered endangered.

Spanish is spoken in Spain,South America,America and several other european countries.Then French is spoken in France,Africa and several european countries.There are many languages that crowed out the others.
