UNESCO and Endangered Languages [1]<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to UNESCO, approximately half of the 6000 or more languages spoken today will disappear by the end of this century.\u00a0 This can be prevented with the supporting language policies of governments and speech communities. The organization aims to raise awareness to provide solutions with the help of the experts and the authorities. Endangered languages are divided into six groups according to their degrees of endangerment.<\/p>\n
