blog 7
For blog 7 I'm going to go back to my blog 5. In which my article was about dying dialects in Mexico. Like i say before Mexico is not the only country the is loosing its languages. Across seas in Paris there is only one native speaker of "Lionama"; close to home we are also loosing languages. In Alaska "Eyak" language was extinct five years when the last person who spoke this language die.According to an article that i read is estimate that one language dies every 14 days around the world. people who speak different language the switch to more global languages like English and Spanish.

That is insane about the 14 days. It really gets me thinking on how there are so many languages there are and I do not even think about the amount. From that estimation it seems like there is not going to be too many languages left in the future though! That's horrible!
ReplyDeleteThat is so depressing that a language dies that often. It's too bad that there aren't more linguists so that these languages could be recorded before they become extinct.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad that so many languages die all the time, but the world is evolving and is always changing. All we can do is try it document the languages and learn what we can from it.
