Half of the world's seven thousand languages are endangered by lack of human care. As a result, not one language is swallowed by its "big brother". With the disappearance of the language, all the information in it is lost. For example, some healing knowledge is kept secret by certain African tribes, whose language is not known to others. If a language disappears, stories are not told, songs are not sung, jokes are not exchanged, the meaning is not understood, traditions are not observed, and culture is not passed down from generation to generation. A minority language usually disappears when it is not protected, is not used at home, is not taught at school, is not heard from parents or old people. As a result, some languages are known to have only three speakers. However, there is hope that more languages will be saved in the future.

Половина из семи тысяч языков мира находятся под угрозой исчезновения из-за отсутствия заботы человека. В результате ни один язык не поглощается своим "старшим братом". С исчезновением языка вся информация в нем теряется. Например, некоторые лечебные знания хранятся в тайне определенными африканскими племенами, чей язык не известен другим. Если язык исчезает, истории не рассказываются, песни не поются, шутки не обмениваются, смысл не понимается, традиции не соблюдаются, а культура не передается из поколения в поколение. Язык меньшинства обычно исчезает, когда он не защищен, не используется дома, не преподается в школе, не слышен от родителей или пожилых людей. В результате, некоторые языки, как известно, имеют всего три носителя. Однако, есть надежда, что больше языков будут спасены в будущем.
