Armenian language under the threat of disappearance in Turkey

According to the UNESCO "Atlas of the World's
Languages in Danger", 15 languages are endangered, and three more are
extinct in Turkey.

Four languages in Turkey were categorised as unsafe:
Zazaki, Abkhaz, Adyge, and Kabard-Cherkes. Definitely endangered are: Abaza,
Homshetsma, Laz, Pontus Greek, Romani, Suret (a language similar to Assyrian)
and Western Armenian.

Three languages are severely endangered: Gagavuz, a
language spoken mostly in Moldova and by a diaspora in Turkey, Assyrian and
Ladino, the language spoken by the Sephardic Jewish community in Turkey.

One more language is critically endangered: Hertevin,
a language that used to be spoken in the province of Siirt in the southeast of
Turkey. In 1999, there were 1,000 speakers left.

The UNESCO Atlas says that
three languages have become extinct in Turkey. Cappadocian Greek is extinct in
Turkey and critically endangered worldwide. A language called Mlahso, which was
spoken in the Lice district of Diyarbakir became extinct when its last speaker
died in 1995. A language called Ubykh was lost with the death of its last
registered speaker in 1992.
