Australia has topped another list, but don’t get too excited, it’s not necessarily a good list. The ‘Enduring Voices’ project is a collaboration between some American linguistic experts and the National geographic magazine and they’ve compiled a list of regions which have the most languages in danger of extinction. Australia is number one. Doctor David Harrison from Enduring Voices in the US and Denise Karpany of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation of Languages talk about why our diverse voices are being silenced.
