Dr Levinson, who this year (1) has led an investigation of endangered languages, said the scale of the problem is immense. “Most endangered languages (2)will disappear soon without even being recorded,” he said. In Papua New Guinea, which (3) boasts the richest diversity of languages in the world, many young people (4)prefer to communicate in “tok psin”, which literally means “talk pidgin” English, than in the language of their elders. English (5)is growing in popularity because many people (6)believe their children (7)will be better off as a result.

One of the most famous examples is the Mohawk language spoken by people who (9) live in the Quebec region of Canada now. Linguists (10)began working with Mohawk-speakers in the early 1970s. Mohawk lessons (11)were offered as part of the curriculum of elementary schools in Quebec and now hundreds of children (12)have learnt a language that would probably have died out by now.
