With only eight fluent Nyiyaparli speakers remaining, an Aboriginal group is racing against time to save its 41,000-year-old language.


I mean if you wanna look at it like that all languages are doomed languages
All languages evolve, and in the age or globalisation also becoming more homogenised. I don’t think there will ever be one global language as people like their local dialects and are influenced by local culture, but i wouldn’t be surprised if in a handful of hundred years I could read a bit of French.
