When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers , small, tightly kn it(聯(lián)系)groupsdeveloped their own patter ns of speech in depe ndent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000years ago, when the world had just five to ten mil
17、lion people, they spoke perhaps 12, 000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and theirIanguages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, thedevelopment of the nation-state and the spre
18、ad of universal compulsory educati on, especially globalisati on andbetter com muni cati ons in the past few decades, all have caused many Ianguages to disappear, and dominantIanguages such as English, Spanish and Chin ese are in creas in gly tak ing over.At present, the world has about 6, 800 Iangu

Thegen eral rule is that mild zones have relatively few Ian guages, often spoke n by many people, while hot, wet zoneshave lots, often spoke n by small nu mbers. Europe has only around 200 Ianguages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa2, 400;
20、and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.Themedian number( 中位數(shù)) of speakers is mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds Ianguages are spoken byfewer people tha n that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6, 800 Ianguages are close to ext

Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco inMexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark):none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28.
