Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet toindicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30. There are around 7,000 languages in the world today.However,most people speak the largest languages:Chinese,Spanish,English,Hindi,Russian,Arabic,and others.So what about the smaller languages?According to theUNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger,around one-third of the world's languages now have fewer than 1,000 speakers.We may soon lose those languages completely.In fact,230 languages became extinct between 1950 and 2010. Unfortunately,when we lose a language,we also lose its culture and knowledge.That's because people indifferent places have different ways of living and thinking. One example of this is the Tuvan language of southern Siberia.Tuvan people depend on animals for food and other basic needs.Their language shows this close connection between people and animals.The Tuvan word ezenggileer,for example,means "to sing with the rhythms of riding ahorse.”And the word ak byzaa is “a white calf less than one year old.” In some places,people are working to save traditional languages.Many schools in New Zealand now teach theMaori language.This helps connect native New Zealanders to their Maori culture.And Wolsh is spoken by around 500,000 people ip Wales.The Welsh government is working to increase thrat number to one million by 2050. Technology offers a posstbte aftermative to saving endangered languages .National Geographic's Enduring Voices brojcet has created“Talking Dictionaries”-the recorded voices of people communicating with each other. All of them are fluent speakers of endangered languages.And because these dictionaries are accessible to anyone on the Internet,people now and in the future can learn some of the vocabulary,greetings,and grammar rules of past languages.
