I haven't seen a thread on this and thought it was kind of interesting.
There was a report recently that up to half of the world's currently spoken languages are in danger of dying out in the next century. Here's an article about it.

The article paints it as a bad thing, but I'm not so sure it is. Fewer languages being spoken around the world means communication with other people gets easier.
What do you think?
