Okay kiddo, so you know how people all around the world speak different languages, right? Well, some of those languages are in danger of disappearing forever! That means no one would speak them anymore and they would be forgotten.
So, to help people understand which languages are in danger, some really smart people made a special book called an "atlas." This atlas has a big map and lots of pictures of different languages. It's like a big encyclopedia where you can learn about all the different languages in the world.
But the parts of the atlas that talk about endangered languages are really important. They show where those languages are spoken and how many people speak them. That way, people can take action to save those languages before it's too late.
It's kind of like taking care of endangered animals. We want to make sure they don't disappear, right? It's the same with endangered languages. We want to make sure they don't disappear, so we can keep learning about them and the people who speak them.
So, that's what the atlas of the world's languages in danger is all about. It's a special book that helps us learn about the languages that need our help to survive.
