Jimmy MartinezRicardo, thank you very much for the interesting article you shared. When you think of languages you think of a certain group of individuals who speak the same language and never really think of it as an animal/endagered species. You would think that generation after generation that the language might change a little bit, accents and such, but that the language would endure. That is definitely not occuring in our world. Languages are dying like the Manchu language. According to this article over half of the 7,000 languages will be extinct by 2100. That is a shocking number!
