Abstract
The legend of the Babel's tower tells that at the very beginning of the world, the human beings had only one and unique language. Today some 5000 languages are spoken in the world. It shows one of the many layers that composed humanity's cultural heritage. However, this variety of the languages is quickly disappearing. On average, 25 languages die every year and half of the population of the world uses only 9 languages in the daily life.
These facts lead up to wonder if the globalization is a threat for languages' diversity? And is there a way to limit this impact? The globalization means by definition « the development of interdependence's links between men and women, human activities and political systems on the scale of the world" as well as transfers, possessions' international exchange, the workforce and the knowledge.
