News: Disappearing languages

UNESCO means United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
This institution confirms that more than two thousand languages of the world's six thousand languages are in danger of extinction.
About five hundred are spoken by less than thousand persons. Every time that a language die, the UNESCO says the world loses valuable cultural heritage. UNESCO says government action is important if the world want to preserve its linguistic diversity. One thing needed is that people must be proud to speak their language to ensure it survives. For example in 2008, Alaska's last native speaker of Eyak died, he and her language.
The eyaks wanted to to save her people's heritage but it's late. And also only three people speak ma tike, an Australian Aboriginal language.

UNESCO says the phenomenon of dying languages appears in different regions and diverse economic conditions.
