Moseley gives precise figures on who is speaking what, and what is being spoken no more. He notes that as globalization increases, the number of languages that are disappearing will both increase and accelerate, and that this effort will at least catalogue the thousand or so languages of which we now know. He begins with an analysis of why certain languages are not being passed on to the next generation and sorts entries on individual languages geographically, providing precise descriptions of languages and dialects for each region and nation. His maps are especially helpful in locating languages, and the methods of organization makes understanding which regions are suffering the worst losses easy to discern.
