📌 Did you know that half of the world’s 7,000 languages are endangered and could vanish by the end of this century? Even more striking—90% of the world’s 300+ unique alphabets are at risk of disappearing. Despite the seriousness of this issue, it often flies under the radar in regions like Western Europe and North America. At LocWorld, we believe in the power of language and writing systems as the foundation of cultural identity. That’s why we’re proud to support efforts to preserve endangered languages and scripts. On January 23, join us for "World Endangered Writing Day", a global, live-streamed event dedicated to raising awareness and taking action. 📌The event will feature: 🖋 Insightful talks and discussions led by scholars and community advocates 🖋 Activities, awards, and games that celebrate minority and Indigenous scripts 🖋 Real stories of resilience from communities working to preserve their writing systems We invite you to take part in this celebration of the world’s linguistic diversity—a key piece of our shared cultural heritage! 👉 Learn more and register for free at: https://lnkd.in/g8uh7NMN Together, let’s honor and protect the world’s writing systems before it’s too late. 🌍✨
