language revival and renewal  

Définition

  • Half of the 6,000 to 7,000 languages worldwide are considered “endangered,” as parental transmission loses out to other influences and power languages take over the task of global communications. Of these, more than 500 are considered “moribund” or nearly extinct, with only a few elderly speakers still living, according to the language resource Ethnologue.
