"@$%%^^^" I don't speak those languages.
In fact, very few people do.
They're used only by a handful of people, and all those languages are in danger of extinction.
There are more than 7,000 languages spoken in the world today, but about one-third of those have fewer than 1,000 speakers.
And according to UNESCO, more than 40% of those languages are in danger of extinction.
In fact, every fortnight, one of the world's languages disappears forever.
When you say 'dead language', many people think of Latin.
But Latin actually never died.
It's been spoken continuously since the time of the Caesars, but it changed very gradually over 2,000 years until it became French, Spanish, and other Romance languages.
True language death happens when communities switched to other languages and parents stopped raising their children to speak their old ones.
