linguistic diversity

Linguistic diversity refers to the variety of languages spoken by people around the world. It highlights that many different languages, each with unique sounds, grammar, and vocabulary, coexist within various cultures and communities. This diversity reflects rich cultural identities and histories. However, many languages are at risk of disappearing as dominant languages spread and communities shift. Preserving linguistic diversity is important for maintaining global cultural heritage, fostering understanding, and supporting the rights of different language speakers.
