Languages become extinct because the people who understand the language stop using it overtime, the languages sometimes don’t have much speakers

Answer:

From a state of endangerment, many languages become extinct. When the speakers of a language are exterminated as what happened to Tasmanians in the 19th century, several languages suddenly died. Another reason for the extinction is the pressure exerted on a community to incorporate with a more powerful or larger group.
