When Carios Westez died at the age of 76, a language died, too. Westez, more commonlyknown as Red Thunder Cloud, was the last speaker of the Native American language Catawba. Anyone who wants to hear the songs of the Catawba can contact the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D . C . , where, back in the 19~0s, Red Thunder Cloud recorded a series of songs for future generations. 41 They are all that is left of the Catawba language. The language thatpeople used to speak is gone forever. We are all aware of the danger that modern industry can do to the world' s ecology ( 生态 ).However, few people are aware of the impact widely spoken languages have on other languagesand ways of life. English has spread all over the world. Chinese, Spanish, Russian, and Hindihave become powerful languages as well. 42 When this happens, hundreds of languagesthat are spoken by only a few die out.
Scholars believe there are around 6,000 languages around the world, but more than half ofthem could die out within the next 100 years. There are many examples. Araki is the language ofthe island of Vanuatu, located in the Pacific Ocean. It is spoken by only a few older adults, so likeCatawba, Araki will soon disappear. Many languages of Ethiopia will have the same fate becauseeach one has only a few speakers. 43 In the Americas, 100 languages, each of which has
fewer than 300 speakers, are dying out.Red Thunder Cloud was one of the first to recognize the danger of language death and to try todo something about it. He was not actually bomb into the Catawba tribe, and the language was nothis mother tongue. 44 The songs he sang for the Smithsonian Institution helped to makeNative American music popular. Now he is gone, and the language is dead.
What does it mean for the rest of us when a language disappears? When a plant, insect, or animal species dies, it is easy to understand what has been lost and to appreciate what it means for thebalance of the natural world. However, language is only a product of the mind. To be the last remaining speaker of a language, like Red Thunder, must be a peculiarly lonely destiny, almost asstrange and terrible as being the last surviving member of a dying species. 45
