Encyclopedia of the World's Endangered Languages

The Encyclopedia of the World’s Endangered Languages catalogues and describes the language stocks, making up the vast majority of the world's six thousand or more distinct tongues, which are in danger of disappearing within the next few decades.

The Encyclopedia of the World’s Endangered Languages presents expert analysis of the current language policy situation in every multilingual country and on every continent, detailed descriptions of little-known languages from all over the world, and clear alphabetical entries, region by region, of all the world''s languages currently thought to be in danger of extinction.

This new edition has been updated to reflect the greater amount of theorizing on language death, endangerment and revitalization from the last decade. Individual chapters have been thoroughly updated to reflect changes in speaker numbers, reclassifications and new controversies regarding affiliations.
