12 native Peruvian languages in danger of disappearing

“During the last decades 30 of the 100 existing native languages in Peru are extinct and today 12 more are in danger of disappearing, warned James Roberts, director of Peru’s Summer Institute of Linguistics.

“The decrease in native Peruvian languages is mainly due to the influence society has on the various ethnic groups living in rural areas and the fact that the population within each group is getting smaller”, Roberts said.”
