Languages hold the key to understanding a culture's beliefs and values According to Dr Cumberland, who is working to save Assiniboine, a Native American language, a dying language needs a dictionary and people to understand and record its grammar Most importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language This can be very difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left For example, when researchers were working to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico, it was hard for them to record anything because the last two people on Earth who could speak the language refused to speak to each other! Today, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) lists more than 3,000 languages that may disappear by the end of this century Some of the languages still have a few million speakers and may survive Unfortunately, hundreds of languages have fewer than 25 speakers remaining and may soon be lost forever Question What is the main idea of this reading?
