| Abstract |
How and why are languages dying or disappearing? The main causes of languages dying are socioeconomic. Languages don't die because they're inferior to the languages which thrive. Languages die because parents choose to educate and raise their children in another language, which will help them earn more money and gain more social status. If the balance of economic power between language communities change, then the favoured languages also change.
