Do you know some years ago we already reached #peaklanguage - since then, there are more existing #programminglanguages /#machinelanguages on earth than #humanlanguages. Especially minority languages of small #indigenous groups continue to die because of climate change, globalization and exploitation of habitats. If you speak a local dialect or minority language, keep it alive - language loves diversity <3
