The International Decade of Indigenous Languages
The United Nations designated the period 2022 to 2032 an International Decade of Indigenous Languages, with UNESCO as lead agency, following the International Year of Indigenous Languages in 2019. It is a declared programme of documentation, revitalisation and policy support rather than a prediction of any outcome, and it is recorded here as a plan with a stated end date. Its results as of August 2026 could not be assessed in this session.
Planned — a programme target or declared plan, from a source that declared it. Never a prediction.

Evidence
Partly verified — Core facts are sourced; some optional detail is deliberately absent.
UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger, third edition
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.
