Globalization has led to the dominance of a few major languages, resulting in the decline of many smaller languages.

Estimates suggest that over 1000 languages are currently endangered, with many facing extinction.

Asia is home to a vast number of languages, many of which are spoken by small communities and face endangerment.

A combination of factors, including lack of speakers, loss of cultural practices, and government policies, can contribute to the endangerment of a language.

Language endangerment can lead to the loss of cultural heritage, reduced biodiversity, increased social inequality, and other negative consequences.

Efforts to revitalize endangered languages include language documentation, language education, community engagement, and other initiatives.

Technology can be used in various ways to support language revitalization, including creating language learning apps, documenting endangered languages, and connecting speakers of endangered languages.

Revitalizing endangered languages faces challenges such as lack of resources, lack of political support, and lack of community interest.

Preserving endangered languages is important for maintaining cultural diversity, protecting traditional knowledge, and promoting sustainable development.

Individuals can support the revitalization of endangered languages by learning an endangered language, supporting organizations working to revitalize endangered languages, and advocating for policies that support endangered languages.
