Of an estimated seven thousand #languages spoken in the world today, about 40% are #AtRisk of going #extinct .
It has been evaluated that in just the last few hundred years, thousands of languages have #vanished with half of all present languages #projected to #disappear by the end of this century. A different tongue has been found to be wiped out every two weeks with the biggest #culprit being #economic #development .
