There are around 7,000 languages spoken in the world, but that number is shrinking. Unesco estimates that half could disappear by the end of the century. So how are languages lost, and what does that mean for the people who speak them?

Too few and too late!
Push Esperanto (or something else similarly adequate) to the masses and leave those local languages to historians and poets.
Unfortunately I don’t think Esperanto can succeed unless a multinational agreement makes it a requirement in school.
As it is, the international language to learn is English.
