Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, more than half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth will likely disappear, taking with them a wealth of knowledge about history, culture, the natural environment, and how the human brain works.National Geographic's Enduring Voices Project strives to preserve endangered languages by identifying language hotspots - the places on our planet with the most unique, poorly understood, or threatened indigenous languages - and documenting the languages and cultures within them.

With each language, another step to global unity... Think. A world with no language barriers. No ignorance. No social bias. No concept of "WTF!?"
