Talk:Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger

replies: text: The red book is ongoing - if it is not there yet it will be sooner or later if it should be. I don't believe it yet contains everything. They aren't supermen. Why don't you go to the site, contact them and ask them to report on those languages? It is certainly not a matter of discrimination if that is what you are implying. There's no instantaneous data, someone has to do the work, just as on Wikipedia.Dave (talk) 21:25, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

text: Many Australian Aboriginal languages are already dead, extinct languages are not in the book because they are not endangered, they have already gone extinct, examples include the Dhudhuroa language, Pallanganmiddang language, Djabirr-Djabirr language, or Limilngan language. All Australian Aboriginal languages which have gone extinct seem to have a stub article; saying where the language was spoken, but giving no other information. There are many dying Aboriginal languages which should be in the "red book", but they are a small minority compared to all of the dead languages of Australlia.

message: It seems that http://www.unesco.org/culture/en/endangeredlanguages doesn't work anymore. Has the site been moved ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.182.223.239 (talk) 08:50, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The situation seems a bit complicated. First (before 1996) there seems to have been the print-only published version, called the "Red Book," that compiled endangered languages; this was moved online in 1996 to the "Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger", and remained (apparently updated) until 2009/2010, when a new online page was under development. That new-in-2010 site is the link you have (http://unesco.org/culture/en/endangeredlanguages), I think. But then, UNESCO seems to have taken the information about the endangered languages and begun to transfer it to their broader site on world languages, namely  https://en.wal.unesco.org/. Even though that site has "beta" indicated on its first page, it may be generally updated. The last big site overhaul (according to the footer on the first page) was in 2021; I don't know if another site is now in development. Meerkat77 (talk) 18:47, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  It has been replaced by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger 

message: This book is very criticable, because the number of Engangered languages in the New World countries is very overdone. And because language revitalization have a criticism. - 201.81.79.249 (talk) 00:03, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

message: There's a Wikipedia page, Lists of endangered languages , that focuses largely on UNESCO projects around this. I think it would be a good idea to try organizing the various lists and giving an overview of the history of development of each (briefly), so people will know what the latest version(s) are.
