"Every year, the world loses some of its 7,000 languages. The rate of loss is quickening, from one every three months a decade ago to one every 40 days in 2019."
"It pains my heart every day to see that a language is dying off, because it's not just about the language, it's also about the people and the history associated with it."
"Ensuring there is a substantial record of words and meanings, how it is written and how it is used is key, according to campaigners like Tochi Precious."
"Thousands are endangered because they are not being spoken widely enough or are not being used in formal settings such as schools or workplaces."
