- A You probably know that, every year, some plant and animal species disappear forever. (1) Experts think that 40% of the languages that exist at the moment are in danger of disappearing. And they estimate that one language disappears every two weeks! The cause of this is simple: parents in some communities don't speak their mother. tongue to their children. As a result, they never pick it up. This is happening all over the world. (2). In Australia, Tjupany is a language that has only ten native speakers.
- B Some people think all this doesn't matter. The world changes, they say. Before, people used to travel by horse and send telegrams for urgent messages. (3) No one wants to go back to a time when these things didn't exist. The same is true for some languages, they say. (4) But why try to keep them alive now when very few people use them?
- C These are good questions, but there's a good answer to them. When we lose a language completely, we lose our ability to understand whole communities and cultures that helped to build the world before us. (5) The question is: what can we do to preserve all of these endangered languages? Now, there's an organisation that's dedicated to doing precisely this: The Endangered Language Project (the ELP).
- D The ELP, which started in 2012, is a relatively new project. (6) Its aim is simple but ambitious: to collect examples of languages that are in danger - both text examples and audio or video. Audio and video are very important because many of these languages don't have a written form. (7) What's more, people who want to learn, practise or research them can use the website as a unique self-study. library. It's an unusual and wonderful idea!
