Manuel Segovia still speaks Ayapaneco to his wife and son who understand him but speak only a few words themselves.

The language of Ayapaneco is at risk of extinction, but the last two people fluent in the language refuse to talk to each other, the Guardian reports.

Manuel Segovia, 75, and Isidro Velazquez, 69, live 500 meters apart in the village of Ayapa in the tropical lowlands of the southern state of Tabasco in Mexico. It is not clear whether there is a long-buried argument behind their mutual avoidance, but people who know them say they have never really enjoyed each other's company.

There are 6,000 languages in the world, and around half are expected to disappear over the next century. (點擊《衛(wèi)報》查看原文)

南美一語言僅兩人會說

???????據(jù)英國《衛(wèi)報》報道，南美洲一種名叫Ayapaneco的語言目前正面臨滅亡的下場。世上會說這種語言的只剩下兩個人，但他們卻拒絕同彼此說話。

???????75歲的馬努埃爾·塞戈維亞和69歲的伊西德羅·維拉斯奎斯都住在墨西哥塔巴斯科州熱帶低洼地區(qū)的阿雅帕村莊里，兩家僅相隔500米。認識馬努埃爾和伊西德羅的人們都能證實兩人關系確實很僵，但究竟有什么樣的深仇大恨卻無人知曉。

???????目前全世界共有6000種語言，其中大約一半的語言將活不過下個世紀。
