THE EVOLUTION OF LANGUAGE
sure
Did you know there are about 6,000 to 7,000 languages in the world? It is hard to grasp that so many unique and distinct languages exist. What makes language even more unique is that languages can change over time, and some may even become extinct. The language, or languages, that you speak now may be very different in the future.
Language changes depending on what region a speaker lives in, his or her level of education, gender, age, and social status. Because language is dependent on society, social changes can cause languages to change. For example, in the 1950s, people started to use "Ms." to refer to a woman instead of "Miss" or "Mrs.". Like "Mr.", the word "Ms." doesn't show whether or not a woman is married. New inventions and technology are another reason why languages change. The words "television" and "computer" did not exist in the English language until these objects were invented.
Then how can languages become extinct? When the last speaker of a language dies, the language ceases to exist. The Bo language, for example, became extinct in 2010 when its last speaker died. And even more recently, a Scottish dialect called Cromarty became extinct when its last speaker died in 2012. There have been many other languages around the world that have become extinct over time. Language experts estimate that about 50% to 90% of the languages spoken today will become extinct within the next one hundred years.
That is why people are working to preserve endangered languages. Google has developed and implemented the Endangered Languages Project website to save more than 3,000 endangered languages from vanishing. Through the website, speakers of the same language can connect through social media, audio, and video to try to keep the language alive. People can also use the site to try to learn new languages. With so many languages already extinct, it is important to preserve the ones that are left for future generations.
How about the language in your country? Has the language changed over time? Have new words been created? Pay attention to the language around you so that you can observe how it (Adapted from Subject links by Build & Grow)
evolves and keep it from becoming extinct.
