Anastasia, a linguist at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada Lear points out: and endangered.
The main factors affecting this are globalization and immigration. Furthermore, it seems moible number data particularly brutal that the regions of the world where most of the languages are spoken are becoming increasingly inhospitable to human habitation due to disasters related to the climate crisis. Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. In contrast, it occupies an area of 1.5 km, which is about the size of the Moscow region. At the same time, Vanuatu speaks 2 languages (one language per kilometer.

Which is the highest density of languages on the planet. Meanwhile, Vanuatu is one of the countries likely to be affected by flooding associated with rising sea levels. Added: Many small language communities are located on islands and coasts hit by hurricanes. Others live on land where rising temperatures threaten traditional farming and fishing practices, prompting people to migrate. Thus, climate change further disrupts communities.
