Sunset of the Polyglot World

Half world's languages may become extinct by year 2100
"There are 6,912 languages in the world. There are thirteen languages that are spoken by more than 100 million people. Approximately 2,000 languages are spoken by less than 1,000 people."
Here's a list of languages that were once spoken but are now extinct. I didn't know there was a language known as Newfoundland Irish!
