Mysuru: There are about 7,105 languages spoken across the world. At least half of these languages are endangered in that they may no longer exist since they are not being spoken by children as first languages.
Many scholars and institutions show their concern to document, preserve, and revitalise the languages, which are on the verge of extinction. In India, there are very few Universities offering courses on language documentation and the courses are only limited to the students of linguistics.
