Under the auspices of UNESCO and the Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe, today is marked the International Mother Language Day, 21 February. The protection of languages ​​in the world, the fight against their extinction and the preservation of the identity of nations through language, are the key goals of the manifestations that will be organized today in the world. UNESCO analyzes show that some 2,500 languages ​​out of almost 6,000 spoken worldwide may be extinct. About 200 languages ​​have disappeared in the last 90 years, while 199 languages are spoken by less than ten people. The last to disappear is the "ajake" language spoken by a woman who died in 2008 in Alaska. The main reasons for the extinction of languages ​​are wars and forced expulsion. Immigrants also mix their mother tongue with the language of the country in which they live to better integrate. However, there are examples, mostly in Australia, where languages ​​that are "under threat" are spoken by young people, said a UNESCO representative.
