It's reported that there are about 6,000 languages around the world. But 42% of them are dying out according to UNESCO（联合国科教文组织）. If we do
1
, some of these languages will become extinct（灭绝的）.
Languages become extinct for many reasons（理由）. One is that local speakers of the languages are
2
at some communities. These people sometimes
3
their communities and move to other cities or towns.
4
, the language of main cultures may drive other languages into extinction. To get better jobs, young people have to learn other languages
5
English, French and Mandarin.
Once a language dies, it can't come back to life. Governments（政府）are taking action to stop this. That's to say, we are now working to give
6
life to such languages.
China is trying to protect its languages. About 130 languages are spoken in China and this
7
is even bigger than that of the ethic（少数民族的）groups in the country. In the year of 2015, the government started a programme to record all the languages spoken in China. Some
8
in China have added minority language majors（专业）for their students.
All languages are a form of human heritage（遗产）. When we lose a
9
, we will lose the world view and culture of the people who speak it. Language itself is often the best way to show a certain community's
10
and culture.
