32、payment DToday, several of the worlds nearly 7,000 languages face a serious risk of extinction. For example, Ainu, a language in Japan, is now seriously threatened, with only 10 native speakers left, said lead study author Tatsuya Amano at the University of Cambridge in England.The scientists found

33、that 25 percent of the worlds languages are threatened. After identifying where the endangered languages were, they looked for any environmental and social or economic factors those languages might have in common, such as rugged terrain or rapid population growth. We found that at the global scale,

34、language speaker declines are strongly linked to economic growth-that is, declines are particularly occurring in economically developed regions, Amano said.One important implication of this new study is that languages in the tropics and Himalayan region are likely to be increasingly threatened in th

For instance, speakers of endangered language

There are other important factors that might endanger languages, the researchers said. For instance, policies regarding how languages are used and taught in schools can be very differen

There exists detailed information on projected future changes in the environment, eco

38、nomies and climates, Amano said. Using such information, together with the findings of this study and further analysis, we would like to understand what will happen to the worlds languages, where it will happen and which languages will be threatened in particular.32.

39、d in Paragraph l in order to tell us that _.A. Japanese is new seriously threatenedB. few people speak Japanese in the worldC.
