The question arises as to how many world languages will really disappear by the end of the 21st century.
Due to the very development and progress of techno-industrial development, the extinction of the same languages follows, because industrial development itself creates cultural consequences for world languages.
Experts from Pent University tell us that in addition to language extinction, there is also a problem that manifests itself in ourselves, because we are not doing anything about it. According to the analyzes at the given university, we come to the conclusion that more than 50 percent of today’s languages will disappear from the historical scene, and with them the cultures of certain nations.
Most of all, the problem lies in the increasing use of “official languages” such as English, German and French, and thus their insertion into autochthonous cultures dominated by a different linguistic set. Also, according to analyzes conducted in 35 different places in the world, they came to the conclusion that these places have over 1600 languages.
It is very likely that the next generations will replace their language with the most frequently used languages in the world, thus their autochthonous languages will face extinction.
If we were to categorize the most frequently used languages, then it would look like this (according to the number of inhabitants who speak the given language):
- Mandarin Chinese
- Hindi
- Spanish
- English
- Arabic
- Portuguese
- Bengali
- Russian
- Japanese
- German
