Clinging to
Life Did you know that of the more
than 6500 languages currently spoken on our planet, fewer than half
are likely to survive this century? Native American, African,
Australian languages, stuff like that, no? Actually, it’s a bit
closer to home. UNESCO’s Red Book on Endangered Languages (updated
1999) has no less than 94 entries for Europe. And, with the
exception of Catalan, all the minority languages spoken in Spain are
on that list. |
