TIL that in 1800 Alexander von Humboldt found a pet parrot in Amazonia that was the last "speaker" of an extinct language. He documented what it said, and his notes are the only trace of this language

I wonder how many times before a language has been lost. Crazy to think about

"linguists estimate that there were once several thousand more languages spoken throughout history that have since disappeared due to various reasons such as cultural assimilation, colonization, globalization, and the displacement of indigenous communities"

"Additionally, according to the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger, there are over 2,500 languages that are currently endangered, and many of these are predicted to become extinct within this century if efforts are not made to revitalize them".
