An endangered language is a language that is at risk of falling out of use as its speakers die out or shift to speaking another language. Although languages have always become extinct throughout human history, they are currently disappearing at an accelerated rate by the processes of globalisation and neocolonialism, and the economically powerful languages now dominate other languages. The world language hierarchy shown below (adapted from Graddol, 1997) shows how the world’s languages are structured, and there is a trend of language shift towards the dominant languages with higher numbers of speakers worldwide. Language shift can be the result of linguicide in which ethnic group members no longer learn their heritage language as their first language, which currently threatens many local vernacular languages.

UNESCO’s Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger categorises 2,473 languages into five levels of endangerment: vulnerable, definitely endangered, severely endangered, critically endangered and extinct. Some examples of well-known vulnerable and endangered languages are South Italian, Sicilian, Low Saxon, Belarusian, Lombard, Romani and Yiddish (Israel). The full UNESCO list of endangered languages is available here.

In mid-1971, I was in England driving north to visit my parents in Lincolnshire. I had moved to the States a year earlier and hadn’t been home in a while. After exiting the M-1 motorway, I had to take back roads to my parents’ village. By then, the sun had set and it was pitch black. I remember the stars were out. … During my drive, I thought about the Bradbury story. I also thought about the 1970 song “Rocket Man” that Tom Rapp had written and recorded with his band, Pearls Before Swine. It was a literal retelling of the Bradbury story. Driving the back roads, I began writing a song in my head about the drudgery of being an astronaut. As I thought about how to start the song, the first verse came to me at once: “She packed my bags last night pre-flight / Zero hour 9 a.m. / And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then.” But I didn’t have a pad or pen in the car. I also couldn’t dictate the words or call someone to take them down. That technology didn’t exist yet. So, I repeated the lyrics over and over. I was trying not to lose my train of thought as I raced to my parents’ house. When I arrived, I rushed in without saying hello. I was hunting for a pen and paper. I had never written that way before. Usually, I’d come up with a line and build from there. In this case, words to an entire verse fell out of my mind and onto the page. The words had such a rhythmic cadence.

Rocket Man was the first song Elton wrote during the Honky Château sessions in January 1972 at the Château d’Hérouville studio outside of Paris, France. It was also the first song on which Elton’s band, Davey Johnstone, Dee Murray, and Nigel Olsson explored the opportunity to sing backing vocals together, immediately discovering an alchemy that producer Gus Dudgeon called “the best in-house backing vocalists that anybody’s ever had on record.”

Celebrating the English language at the UN

English Language Day at the UN is celebrated on 23 April, the date traditionally observed as both the birthday and date of death of William Shakespeare. As well as being the most famous playwright, who wrote in English, Shakespeare also had a huge impact on modern-day English.

Today, every one in four people in the world uses English. English is being used more and more as a way for two speakers with different first languages to communicate with each other.

At the United Nations, English is one of the two working languages, along with French.

The Day is the result of a 2010 initiative by the Department of Global Communications, establishing language days for each of the Organization's six official languages. The purpose of the UN's language days is to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity, as well as to promote equal use of all six official languages throughout the Organization.

Under the initiative, UN duty stations around the world celebrate six separate days, each dedicated to one of the Organization's six official languages: Arabic (18 December), Chinese (20 April), English (23 April) French (20 March), Russian (6 June), Spanish (23 April).

Language Days at the UN aim to entertain, as well as to inform, with the goal of increasing awareness and respect for the history, culture and achievements of each of the six working languages among the UN community.

Pretende-se fazer deste dia uma experiência enriquecedora para todos ao apreciarem a diversidade cultural que o inglês nos proporciona. 

Ponderem-se atividades como por exemplo: 

·        Brief history of the English language and its global influence 

·        Shakespeare family tree

BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm'd;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:

   So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

   So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

On the other hand, a "wage" is usually paid on an hourly basis for the number of hours worked. Wages are more common for hourly workers or those in positions that are paid based on the hours worked. Wages can vary depending on the number of hours worked each week.

In summary, the key difference is that a salary is a fixed payment agreed upon in advance, often on a monthly or annual basis, while a wage is typically paid based on the number of hours worked and can vary from week to week.

I wish I found some better sounds no one's ever heard
I wish I had a better voice that sang some better words
I wish I found some chords in an order that is new
I wish I didn't have to rhyme every time I sang
I was told when I get older, all my fears would shrink
But now I'm insecure, and I care what people think

My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think

Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out (oh)
Wish we could turn back time (oh)
To the good old days (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out

We're stressed out

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from?
I'd make a candle out of it if I ever found it
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only sell one

It'd be to my brother, 'cause we have the same nose
Same clothes, homegrown, a stone's throw from a creek we used to roam
But it would remind us of when nothing really mattered
Out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter

My name's Blurryface and I care what you think
My name's Blurryface and I care what you think

Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out (oh)
Wish we could turn back time (oh)
To the good old days (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out

Used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space, but now they're laughing at our face saying
"Wake up, you need to make money", yeah
We used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space, but now they're laughing at our face saying
"Wake up, you need to make money", yeah

Wish we could turn back time
To the good old days
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out (oh)
Wish we could turn back time (oh)
To the good old days (oh)
When our mama sang us to sleep
But now we're stressed out

We used to play pretend, used to play pretend, money
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, used to play pretend, money
We used to play pretend, wake up, you need the money
Used to play pretend, give each other different names
We would build a rocket ship and then we'd fly it far away
Used to dream of outer space, but now they're laughing at our face saying
"Wake up, you need to make money", yeah

The thing is with boys and girls, girls can go around like a tom-boy, with the baggy clothes and the hoodie and stuff and not get judged for it because its one of the feminine personalities that is recognized now-a-days.(Correct me if I'm wrong, I am a tom-boy and I have not been bullied or judged for my male like actions) But if a boy is caught doing feminine things like playing with dolls and wearing dresses its a completely different story. I see nothing wrong with it myself, of course yes it may take a while to get used to it for some people. You people just gotta get you heads out of the sand and haul your asses back into the present time. This is not the 1800's, this is today, and today we should have some sort of respect for one anothers personalities and choices.

I haven't been able to watch this without crying yet. This is how God intended parents to raise their children. Unconditional love. I fall apart during the scene with the dad sitting in the child's room, holding the dress in one hand, and realizing how many gendered stereotypes they were raised on and just how much he was EXPECTING from them when you should never have pressure on a kid for what they're going to grow up to be.

@erishii2044

Unconditional love for your children isn't just about the money you spend for their gadgets, education etc. Love is all about acceptance...and most parents forget that.

@RinLockhart

It's terrifying, absolutely terrfying, on how strong social norms are and how shackled we are to them.

Hello, the name of my robot is Bronze. Its skills involve assisting with household chores to simplify my tasks. It will live in my house and function as my helper. Its appearance will be youthful and elegant, resembling that of a human rather than a traditional robot. Its colors will be white and gray, and it will communicate in a youthful and friendly voice. Its duties will include setting the table, ironing, and assisting with various household chores.The presence of such a robot could greatly benefit individuals who return home late or who must juggle numerous tasks simultaneously, thereby lacking time for household duties. In my opinion, a robot would be an excellent aid. However, depending on its deployment, it could potentially displace the work of many individuals, such as cleaners or waitstaff. In my view, this is the essence of my envisioned robot.
