     By 2100, over half of the world's 7,000 languages will probably be extinct. The writing systems in which many languages are written are disappearing, too. Many of the world's language

share writing systems, so today there are only about 140 different scripts. Sadly, one third of these is in danger of becoming extinct.

   There are a few possible reasons for this: maybe no one teaches the written form of the language in schools anymore, or only a few older people in the community speak the language. In

some countries, modern technology hasn't helped, either. Some scripts use pictures instead of letters, like the Dongba script used by the Naxi people in China. These scripts can't easily be used

on computers, but this doesn't mean that they have any less cultural value than other scripts.

   "Scripts are a hugely important aspect of culture," say Martin Raymond and Lorna Evans of ScriptSource, a reference for the world's writing systems. When a culture loses its writing system,

it also loses everything it believed to be important enough to communicate in writing, such as poems, stories, legal documents, and personal letters. Writing is so important that many people feel a

strong connection to their written language even if they can't read it. For example, in the city of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, which is often called the capital of the Cherokee Nation, many of the street

signs are written in both English and the Cherokee language. Not many people can read the Cherokee language, but it is a way of remembering the city's Native American history.

   There are different ways of saving endangered alphabets. (b) Some ideas are very creative. For example, Tim Brookes decided to carve some of the less common scripts from Bangladesh, like

Marma and Chakma, to make artwork. Brookes has shown his work in schools, libraries, and universities across the United States and Europe. He hopes to increase people's interest in saving the

world's uncommon scripts.
