Five bucks?A: Come on, Dad, I need thirty thousand. I wanna get into the market.

This is a chance for me to get a jump start on building my nest egg.B: I don’t know about that; with all the uncertainty in the markets right now, it would be a very unwise decision to invest. I don’t know if you’re aware son, but there has been a lot of turmoil in the markets recently.

1Linguists (语言学家)suggest that around 6,500languages are currently used for dailycommunication needs.Over 400languages have disappeared over the last 100years and nearly 50%of the languages remaining today are expected to disappear over the next century.2According to the UNESCO Atlas of the World s Languages in Danger,577languagesare currently listed as critically endangered.An additional 537languages are considered severely endangered,which means they re only used by the oldest living generation.Ofthese 577critically endangered languages,several have only 1speaker left alive and many may have already gone extinct (灭绝的).3Academic (学术的)departments and non⁃profit organizations around the world aretrying their best to save endangered languages.Researchers are currently recording anddocumenting some of the most endangered languages in order to ensure a record remains af⁃ter the last speaker is long gone.One example of this is the North American native lan⁃guage Miami,which became extinct in the 1960 s.Today,it is offered as a course at Miami University in the US state of Ohio.4Another way of saving endangered languages is introducing language revitalization(复兴)classes to children.By encouraging children to study and become fluent in a lan⁃guage,linguists hope it will survive through them and be passed down to future genera⁃tions.The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in the US just begun such a program.One in⁃terested group began volunteering to teach school children the Cherokee language when they realized not many people were left who could understand the indigenous tongue.5Technology also plays a role in saving endangered languages.Digital classrooms,pod⁃casts (播客),audio recordings,phone applications,and computer programs are all available语言学家认为，目前大约有6,500种语言用于日常交流。
