  • Contact languages and the preservation of endangered languages

    Stephen A Wurm, S Α Wurm•ARTICLE•Sociolinguistic Studies•2001

    Of the 6000 languages in the world, half have less than 10,000 speakers, and a quarter less than 1000. Accumulations of small languages have led to widespread bi- and multilingualism, with more than half of the world ́s languages spoken by bi- and multilinguals. Many larger languages are used as contact languages. Many of such contact languages become simplified. Pidgin languages are different. They develop through attempts at basic intercommunic…

  • Language Death and Disappearance: Causes and Circumstances

    Open Access•Stephen A Wurm, S Α Wurm•ARTICLE•Diogenes•1991•Cited by: 6

    Well over five thousand languages are known to exist or to have existed in the world, but hundreds of these are no longer living languages used by speakers and speech communities in their day-to-day activities and lives. Some of them lead a pseudolife as revered monuments of the past which still have some restricted and specialised roles to play today, such as Latin, Ancient Greek, Church Slavonic and others, but most of them are of interest and …

Much of the vocabulary of a…
