{{Short description|None}} {{Language Endangerment status}} '''Lists of endangered languages''' are mainly based on [[Endangered language#UNESCO definitions|the definitions used by UNESCO]]. In order to be listed, a language must be classified as "[[Endangered language|endangered]]" in a cited academic source. Researchers have concluded that in less than one hundred years, almost half of the languages known today will be lost forever.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/19/science/19language.html|title=Languages Die, but Not Their Last Words|last=Wilford|first=John Noble|date=2007-09-19|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=2017-02-10|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The lists are organized by region.
