14．（10分）Languages have been cming and ging fr thusands f years，but in recent times there has been less cming and a lt mre ging．When the wrld was still ppulated by hunter﹣gatherers，small，tightly cnnected grups develped their wn patterns f speech independent f each ther．Sme language experts believe that 10，000 years ag，when the wrld had just five t ten millin peple，they spke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．

Already well ver 400 f the ttal f 6，800 languages and clse t disappear，with nly a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at randm，Busuu in Camern（eight remaining speakers），Chiapanec in Mexic（150），Lipan Apache in the United States（tw r three）r Wadjigu in Australia （ne，with a questin﹣mark）：nne f these seems t have much chance f survival．
