Drag words into the blanks.

With about one and a half billion non-native speakers, English has become the world's own language. Such 1 has its downside, of course. There are now about 6,800 languages left in the world, compared with perhaps 2 that number back at the dawn of agriculture. Thanks in 3 to the rise of über-languages, most importantly English, the remaining languages are now dying at the 4 of about one a fortnight. Want to learn Busuu, anyone? Then you'd better head to Cameroon fast, before one of the language's last eight speakers kicks the bucket (as the Busuu-nese presumably doesn’t say).
