UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger, third edition

Assembled from 23 blocks · 1 evidence · 18 related

1. Story
2. The third edition of the Atlas listed roughly two and a half thousand languages as endangered to some degree, graded on a scale from vulnerable through severely and critically endangered to extinct, and made language endangerment legible as a global distribution rather than a set of local anecdotes. The exact count is not quoted here because the Atlas could not be retrieved in this session. Each loss removes evidence the comparative method depends on, and each death of a last relative creates a new isolate.

22. Evidence
23. Supports the existence of a graded global endangerment assessment listing on the order of two and a half thousand languages, and is also cited for the United Nations International Decade of Indigenous Languages 2022–2032. V55 verification basis: this session had no access to any source — WebFetch was egress-blocked for every host attempted and the WebSearch budget was exhausted before authoring — so the cited work was not retrieved, and no page, volume or figure quoted from it was re-checked. The exact number of listed languages is not quoted, and the Decade is a separate United Nations instrument not contained in this Atlas — a curator should replace that citation with the General Assembly resolution.
