Synopsis

Excerpt from The Tree of Language
Called one language. Other languages with millions of speakers are German, Spanish, French, Japanese, and Bengali (one of the languages of India and Pakistan). The smallest leaves include many of the American Indian languages, some of which may have as speakers only the remnant of a tribe, perhaps as few as seventy-five or one hundred. These are languages which are dying out - when the last Old person dies, when the children are finally accommodated to civilization and learn to speak English or Spanish or whatever the general language of the area.
