I have found this video very interesting , knowing about new language in Pakistan which is mostly ended but only three person remain who know this and can speak this language ,
Name of language is Badeshi which is spoken in rural area and valley in Northern Pakistan.
Rahim gull ,Shair gull and Ali shair can speak this language,their new generation is not interested to speak this ,but they choose to speak more supreme languages.
according to these three speakers in the beginning they were nine or ten families whose could speak Badeshi language ,but they had married Women from other areas ,which leads to their language ended .
according to three persons 'if they died theirs language will also .
they speak like
Meen naao Rahim gull thi, my name is Rahim gull.
meen Badeshi jiba aasa ,,I speak Badeshi .

THERE is an other language (Miriwoong) in Australia was completely ended except some , but they are trying to regain their language and they arrange classes to teach Miriwoong to their children .
SO language is the identity of a person we should not refuse our mother tongue with learning or acquiring other languages.
how a language ended ,it is due to that if we people have keen to learn other language as a result we go apart from our mother tongue ,
by using much more words of 2nd language in daily routine , we forget lots of words .
like this is happening to us, we learn other language and adopt its traditions and as a result being apart from our own language and traditions .

Awesome, Muhammad Asif! Glad to know you didn't limit yourself to this video, but went on & explored more about other regions languages.

Did you know that Native Americans are also working on saving their languages? Lesson 1 of this week is more about research on endangered languages in the US. 

In Pakistan there is Centre for Language Engineering (CLE), where they are working on Pakistani Languages preservation, using technology.

Let me know what else have you explored & what do you think you, as a linguist, shall do for your language preservation?

It was an interesting clip enhanced my knowledge and also made me think about such languages.

As these three people(Ali shair,Said Gull and Rahim ) who are the last block or we can say last breaths of Badashi language in the world at the rural area in Northern pakistan. After these the Badashi language will remain a part of history or may not Beacuse their new generations don't have any interest in their native language(Badashi). Unfortunately,they choose to speak more supreme languages.According to these three before there were nine or ten families used to speak this language when they married from other areas which brought their language at the last point.

There is an other language in balochistan which is being use now at a village in District Kharan and a village of District Surab known as Giddar by Sarmastani/Loori Tribe known as (Loori Chini ). Actually before Separation of Pakistan Balochistan Had States Like Kalat, Bella, kharan, etc at that time people of Sarmastani tribe were workers at the castles of Nawab,Sardar and other supreme people and used this language as code language to speak with each other But now there are few remaining people who can speak this language.

Wow at least they didn't forgot their language.said gul,ali shair and rahim.It's a great clip and interesting too.Domaaki is spoken in the valleys of Hunza, Nagar and Gilgit in Gilgit-Baltistan. Only a few hundred speakers, called Dom, use it and their number is decreasing.
In balochistan there are also many languages that are still spoken like balochi which is still spoken here but not too much it's an old language too and there are many more language out there.

The BBC channel has taken an impressive interview of rural area three 3 persons belonging to southern valley of Pakistan. They have shared about their language (BADESHI ), which is there old language . unfortunately BADESHI Language is going to be extinct after the death of (Shair gull , Rahim and Ali). The youths are not interested in learning the BADESHI , so this language will extinct after this 3 speaker's death.

According to the survey each 14 days one language dies or became extinct .There almost 7000 languages in world . They are decreasing day by day.

Latin was the most powerful language in ancient and medieval ages but now it has completely dead language. Once a time Latin has impressed the English and even now 29 % English language consist of Latin vocabularies.

(Dicamy Agta)
Is a Philippines language which is extinct even now , The Dicamy Agta has completely disappeared in Philippine .

So each 14 days one language disappeares or becomes extinct in the world.

This was an interesting video about three men in Pakistan that speak their own language . People say that success lies in our own language . Similarly Badeshi family is also speaking their own language. Because they consider if they leave of their own language will be lost of their culture , civilization , habits etc. Due this still they are using their own language .but when their family members got started by marriaging other tribes .they lost their language . But now only these 3 men are survive to preserve their language.

In this video, there are the three men namely, Said Gul, Ali shair, and Rahim Gul who left behind their own spoken.
The reason which led their language to an extinction is that their native speakers are less interested to speak it.So, obviously, as the native speaker of a language is no more to speak, it will automatically die.Same is the case with their "Badeshi"language. which was once spoking by nine or ten families there..

This video proves that there are still some languages in the world , which are being spoken by a few people . where they coney their messeages to one another based on their daily circumstances .
But this will not run all the time , because one day they will have to die and their youngsters are already not interested to learn that language , as the Badeshi speakers have said .
Now look at Badeshi speakers , they are very less in number and when they die , definitely their language will be died as well .
