Global predictors of language endangerment and the future of linguistic diversity

L. Bromham, R. Dinnage, et al.

Exploring the fate of our world's languages, this research reveals startling insights: language contact isn't the main culprit behind endangerment. Conducted by Lindell Bromham and colleagues, the study highlights correlations between road density, schooling, and the alarming potential of tripling language loss in just 40 years. It's a wake-up call for urgent investment in language preservation efforts.
