Curry Your Yoghurt :shh:
I won’t pretend to know the exact figures but I would say no
The question has to be: Why has Europe not? Basing an arguement on American politics is never a good idea.
Dream on!
Status Quo that wasn't working or change to see if things work better?
It's our kids & grandkids that will say thank-fùck...
They'll be no EU once Italy and the Frogs see sense

Now lorry driver shortage hits Europe
Mainland Europe is experiencing an estimated 400,000 lorry driver shortage as port closures in China during the Covid pandemic have sparked a global supply chain crisis threatening economies.

Right on. I've been watching Peter Whittle's New Culture Forum show on You Tube for quite a while. If no one has seen it then everyone should watch Robin Aitken being interviewed on the show where he tells of his time at the BBC as a journalist and editor. What an eye opener to the bias by the BBC over many years - utterly shocking.
Watch the show anyway as an antidote to the woke culture we're experiencing.
An archaic hobby language then?
I live in Germany and in and out of Holland on a daily basis and have not heard of one problem on the German or Dutch news. The price is going up but that is OPEC, and the ruskies are throwing the gas prices up. In fact both countries are taking measures to try and keep gas prices still payable.

That would be Latin or Gothic. Funnily enough, one of the main language killers, i.e. the English language, is ladden with loads of (basically) Latin words.
As long as languages are spoken by hundreds if not thousands of people, they are hardly "archaic". Likewise, no language deserves to die or should be neglected or ridiculed because it sounds "funny" to other people. Language death is a serious matter and Gaelic and even Welsh are going down that route ... because of the rather simple English. And even the English predecessor in Scotland, the West German language of the Angles (i.e. Anglish, later named Inglis) which developed into Scots was later more or less wiped out by the West Saxon dialect spoken in Southern England, once the West Saxons around King Alfred threw the Danes out of middle and northern England. What remained is modern Scottish English, which essentially is Souther English with a Scottish dialect ... and a few Scots and Gaelic speakers. If I was a Scot, I`d be proud of my cultural heritage to which my country`s languages belong ... even though I`d too be hesitant to try my luck with Gaelic ... as it isn`t an easy langue to learn or speak (as opposed to English, hence the latter is a wicked language killer).

I don't agree about language, although I get your point that as a part of the world's heritage it encompasses enormous cultural treasure.
However, language is really just a barrier that doesn't make humanity better, rather it serves to cause many of our problems.
If humans all spoke the same language the world for humans would be a much better place.
Communication is the secret to understanding and understanding is the key to community and community is the enabler of peace.
Of course, there is a trade-off in this and it is the loss of the cultural treasure of the mosaic of human language is replaced by advanced worldwide human communication.
However, most languages that have ever existed are now forgotten and humanity is probably the better for it.
Gaelic is on its last legs, but it is simply going the way of the majority of languages as humanity moves on.
