Introduction

Endangered and extinct languages is a topic that is not well known by

most of the general public. The only languages then most people know
that are extinct are Latin, old English, and old Norse. Those three
choices there ae pushing the statistics themselves. Most people only
know of the language of Latin being lost to our generation, and really
that is more of old English while currently we have a modern or
contemporary Latin. What is important is that you as a person of interest
needs to know what can affect your community, and losing languages
affects our community in several ways that most people wouldnt even
think about. Hopefully this packet can help you make a decision on
whether this information is important to you.
