Abstract
Based on contemporary estimates, between 50% and 80% of the world’s linguistic
diversity will disappear during the 21st century. This means that out of estimated 6,500
languages currently spoken in the world, over 3,500 will seize to be used.
While every language manifests a unique wealth of human knowledge accumulated
over millennia, sadly multiple languages in Central and Northern Eurasia are at risk.
Often, these languages and language varieties are little known outside their immediate
communities and are less studied by the academic community, which exacerbates the
problem even further
