Portfolio > 2023 Ode to Endangered and Extinct Languages at Allison Gallery at Panola College, Carthage, Texas

Ode to Basa-Gumna language, an extinct language out of Africa. University of Houston source: Around 82% of languages have fewer speakers than there are people in Waco, Texas. Linguists estimate that at least half the world's languages will become extinct in the next one hundred years. That means, on average, a language is dying about every two weeks.
