<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><span style="font-family:'Arial Unicode MS'" class="">The lion's share of the world's living languages face a bleak future. A growing consensus of linguists predicts that by the

approx. 3 and 12 years in lesser-known languages worldwide (e.g., from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific). </span></p>
