Question

Read the text, then answer the questions 1 to 5:

World Languages

Language is one of the most defining characteristics of culture. It reflects what people value and the way they understand the world. It also reveals how certain groups of people may have had common roots at some point in history. For example, English and German are two different languages, but both are part of the same Indo-European language family. This means that these two languages share certain characteristics that suggest they have evolved from a common ancestor language.
About 5,000 languages are spoken in the world today, but experts think many may become extinct as more people become involved in global trade, communications, and travel.
