The most widely spoken languages in the world

[bjcheung77]

I remember reading something along with a graph of languages, many are endangered (yes, like endangered animal species) as there are only a handful or countable number of knowledgeable speakers who are fluent in that particular language. Previously, I would have recommended to just leave the language and (for prospective learners in that community) learn a very similar language in place of it. But now, I feel like they can amalgamate that language into the next closest thing, or incorporate that as a dialect... With the advances in technology, learning material can be stored online for each and every one of these languages...

Mainly languages that are taught from elementary up to college level will be safe from the growing endangered list, the next languages down the list are the ones where multi-million people in that area constantly use on a daily basis, such as a regional or official languages. The languages that are actually endangered are the ones that are on the outskirts of the large cities, in tribes or villages with only a few thousand of speakers, most of these people would already know the national or official languages, they only speak or use this language primary at home. Many languages are near extinction, a way to save it is to incorporate into another...
