Endangered Languages

Following my last posting, Elinjo has forwarded to me a link to a video about languages of the world.

There are approximately 6,500 languages left in the world and one is disappearing every week (in average).. It is a very sad fact and a terrible loss for our culture (and our world).

For any of you who would like to know more, please follow this link, 'In Languages We Live'

I hope this video can be a wake-up call for all of us to start passing down any knowledge of culture and ethnic language that we have to our children and younger generations.

Every little step counts!

    Hi Brian,

    I'm terribly sorry for the really late reply.. Ups and downs of internet connection and every day routines are enough to make important things left unattended..

    I have viewed the videos and visited the website you sent in your comment, and they are very interesting.

    Thank you, especially for the link to the 'lernu' website. I would love to know more about Esperanto, even only a little bit in my scattered around learning time.. :-)

    Hi Susy (uistlady)..

    Thank you :-)

    Hopefully, more people around the world are going to be aware about culture and language preservation..
