If languages would go extinct,

Which languages do you think will most likely survive?

According to Alliance for
Linguistic Diversity UNESCO Half of all That's '3000' languages will be extinct within 100 years.

@Hayman Much of that i suspect is due to tribes dying out and integration with other communities meaning language usage changes.

Doesn't help that many don't have a written language only a verbal one.

@Picklebobble2 Closest language to Latin is Romanian if I recall correctly.

@SW-User Yeah, it is qualified as a dead language by linguists. We don't use the language, we use words from the language.

@Miram Yup and abbreviations like p.m or a.m

Half of all the world's 6,000 languages are predicted to go exstinct this century. ¨

The ones that will survive are of course the written ones and the ones with millions of speakers.

Languages do die..

Those that are flexible, functional and open to changes survive. And as long as there are group of speakers using them actively.
