ABSTRACT: Global language communication has always been a topic of great interest. How and why majority languages evolved is an intriguing topic that has evolved over the centuries. Evidence has been rapidly mounting that suggest that there are only a handful of spoken languages that receive more utility than that of the thousands available today. Indeed, there are a remarkable 6,912 world languages in existence today spoken in approximately 245 countries, including territories and disputed lands by over 6.7 billion people. However, for as many languages as there exist today, there are numerous languages that go unused or are only spoken by a few people and are headed for extinction.
