Movie spotlights work to record dying languages

There are more than 7,000 languages spoken in the world, but we lose one every two weeks thanks to colonization, globalization, and indifference, according to Kirk Honeycutt of the Hollywood Reporter. A new movie titled Linguists, which showed at the Sundance film festival last month, tracks the efforts of David Harrison and Gregory Anderson as they trek deep into sometimes dangerous territories to record nearly dead languages.
