Endangered Languages of Africa and the Americas
|
A major concern of our project is the drastic and accelerated loss of the world’s languages. Just as globalization threatens human cultural diversity, the languages of small, unique, localized human societies are at serious risk. In fact, linguists predict that we may lose as much as 90% of the world’s linguistic diversity within the next century. This Google Earth layer highlights some of the most severely threatened languages of Africa and the Americas. We look forward to expanding this layer to encompass all the word's Endangered Languages.
