When languages die, it is interesting to think about that it is not only the language itself that is lost. In addition to the language itself, you also lose the culture of the people who spoke it. Even if people learn a "dead" language, they may learn the grammar and vocabulary, but they will never learn the full culture like the original speakers. I also did not know there was as much as 7000 languages which decreased at a rate of a language every two weeks. It is sad that because many of these languages are oral and not written, therefore the true language itself will completely disappear when there are no more speakers along with the culture.
