Counting "dead" languages is a difficult task because in places like the Americas, hundreds of languages went extinct without any record of their existence. Also, do we count Old English as a different language than Modern English even though Modern English is the direct descendant of Old English? So, generously counting the dead languages that we know about, we come upon the further complication of whether two speech forms are dialects of the same language or two different languages. Linguistically accurate lists have included between 3000 and 8000 different languages. Most linguists talk about 6000 languages. Of these languages, about 1000 are spoken in the Americas, about 1000 in Eurasia, about 2000 in Africa, about 1000 in Australia and the islands of the Pacific and Asia, and about 1000 on the island of New Guinea. EDIT: A note about the Ethnologue site. It is not the final word in language numbers. While it is widely used and quoted, it suffers from a number of methodological problems in its accounting. First, its coverage of recently extinct languages is haphazard. For example, it lists many extinct languages in some parts of the world and none in others. It lists, for example, Jewish Babylonian Aramaic, which went extinct in the 11th or 12th centuries, but it does not list Lule, which went extinct in the 19th or 20th centuries. It lists about half of the extinct languages of Australia without any real methodology as to which extinct languages it includes and which extinct languages it excludes. Its coverage of living languages is quite good, but it tends to list too many languages sometimes, calling mutually intelligible dialects "languages". One must always remember that the primary focus of Ethnologue is to serve as a planning document for Bible translation, not as a purely scientific list of the world's languages. Therefore, two communities that speak dialects of the same language, but have different writing systems or are antagonistic towards one another, will be listed twice in Ethnologue rather than once.

However, some of the more prominent and historically important languages that have died along with their extinction dates include:
