languages being at risk

As we remain intrigued by the languages bankers and investment bankers spoke to lure their clients to buy junk securities, there are some (actually many) languages the world speaks that are facing extinction. As per UNESCO, the UN's cultural body, out of the 6,700 identified languages the world speaks; around 2,500 are deemed at risk. Ironically, India leads the race with the most number of languages being at risk!
