Online community has gift of the gab

Never has human society witnessed the death of so many languages.

Linguists predict 90 percent of the current 6,700 languages in the world will disappear this century, while data from UNESCO reveals that 95 percent of the world's languages are spoken by only 4 percent of the global population.

But at the same time, there is also a linguistic explosion occurring, albeit within one particular language. Today young people are "wired" together all over the world, connected online, even though they may never meet face-to-face.
