Languages

In “Languages on the Brink of Extinction” (April 3), you bemoan the fact that half the world’s 6,000 languages are dying. A University of Alaska linguist says that only 600 languages are considered safe.

I say why even 600? Why not 60 or six? Why not one? Since God created us as one, why don’t we act like it? One language would be a start. I don’t care which one.
