Emerging Languages, Emergent Knowledge

When ideas go extinct, we all grow poorer. Half the world's 7,000 languages
now face extinction; a dramatic shift in human intellectual history. Our
21st century world -- replete with wondrous technologies -- rests upon the
foundation of all humankind's prior wisdom and creativity.

Interactive Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger of Disappearing

The online edition of the Atlas is complementary to the print edition It
does not reproduce the regional and thematic chapters of the print version,
but it offers additional information on the listed endangered languages. Via
this interface, you can browse through them, using combinations of search
criteria and/or zooming in the map...
