Short description:
Every two weeks the world loses another indigenous language. Of the approximately 5,000 languages spoken around the globe today, Dalby predicts that half will be lost during this century. How will this linguistic extinction affect our lives? Is there a possibility that humanity will become a monolingual species? Should we care?
