Indeed, Muriel.
It's a concern.

At present, 7000 languages are spoken by the 7 billions inhabitants of the planet. 5 of these 7 billions inhabitants speak one of 74 languages spoken by more than 10 millions of speakers. The 6th billionth speak 250 languages. At last, 6700 smaller languages are spoken by the 7th billionth inhabitant .

Thanks pierre for that post ! Seeing you again was very nice !
