The UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger

The UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger is a comprehensive resource that tracks and documents languages worldwide, highlighting those at risk of extinction. It categorizes languages based on their level of endangerment, from vulnerable to critically endangered, and provides detailed information about each language’s status, number of speakers, and geographic distribution. Its purpose is to raise awareness about linguistic diversity and promote efforts to preserve endangered languages before they disappear, safeguarding cultural heritage and promoting linguistic diversity globally.
