  1. There is definitely a trend where languages are disappearing, unfortunately. This trend started with the industrial revolution, due to lots of people moving to the big city. When this industrial revolution happened, people with all sorts of cultural backgrounds migrated to the big city to work. As industry became more and more prevalent, eventually the age of globalization began. Although our world is more diversified than ever, with the benefits of diversity there comes a cost. That cost is culture and its languages. People as they assimilate with their new countries often find that their native language is not needed anymore, and therefore they won't pass the language on to their children (although some will). So, in about 1000 years, there will be significantly fewer languages.
