These are the languages… endangered.

Very few people know…
for minority languages such as the έγιακ in Alaska, whose last speaker died in 2008, or the ουμπίκ in Turkey, which disappeared definitively in 1992,” notes the head of research published in the inspection Proceedings of the Royal Society B, by fujiwara I, a zoologist at the University of Cambridge.
The zoologist who is studying the extinction of species all over the planet used similar methodologies in the field of linguistics to find that many of the 7,000 different languages that have been recognized all over the planet are in danger of disappearing forever due to of the dominant, globalized economic growth model.
Languages at risk in Europe is the ume sami in Scandinavia and the οβερνιά in France.
The research team I made use of data from the Ethnologue, the most comprehensive database for the recognized languages of the whole world and carried out possible correlations between the loss of languages and a variety of factors, such as the geography and the gross national product of a region or country, respectively.
From all the parameters examined, the economic growth showed a closer relationship with the loss of languages.
The phenomenon concerns the whole world, but is strongest in North America, Australia and some developing areas such as the region of the Himalayas.
The Dr. I considers that one in four world languages in danger of extinction, while the more successful economically is a country of so many languages spoken in the territory are lost because people are forced to adopt the dominant language in politics and education, so as not to isolate themselves economically and politically.
For example, economic reasons forced the native americans to abandon their native languages in favor of English, while for the same reason millions of Chinese were forced to adopt the dialect of mandarin.
Many other languages are bound to disappear, but according to the Dr I there is a possibility of intervention and brought as an example of the celtic dialect κάμρυ of Wales.
Commenting on the survey on the BBC, Daniel Kaufman, ceo of the Alliance of Languages under threat of Extinction (Endangered Language Alliance) pointed out that “environmental factors have been overshadowed by social, political and economic factors” and added that “now we see a trend of linguistic diversity, which initially was shaped by the environment give way to a different shaping of the political and economic conditions of the time”.
The environmental factor in this phase is only a poor excuse of history. This means that you do not see areas with particular environmental form to attract or to give impetus to linguistic diversity.
