As of 2011, there are about 6,800 spoken languages. Approximately 60-80% of these languages are in danger of becoming extinct within the next 100 years. About 30% will be extinct within 2 decades.

There are some efforts to protect endangered languages, but most attempts fail. The best thing to do is record as much information as possible about the language in the hopes that one day it can be revived.
