As of 2009, there are approximately 434 extinct languages; 49 languages from Africa, 68 languages from Asia, 8 languages from Central America and The Caribbean, 64 languages from Europe, 99 languages from North America, 30 languages from Oceania, and 116 from South America.
It is difficult to provide an exact number as there are varying definitions and classifications of what constitutes a "dead language." However, it is estimated that there are thousands of dead languages that have existed throughout human history. Many ancient languages have become extinct over time due to factors such as displacement, cultural assimilation, and the rise of dominant languages.

How many dead languages are there in the world?
There is no way to know, because most of the languages in the history of humanity are dead, without any record of their existence. Language has probably been in existence for close to a million years.
What are some dead languages being used?
There are no truly "dead" languages being used in daily communication, as by definition they are no longer spoken. However, languages like Latin and Ancient Greek are studied and used in specific contexts such as academia, religious ceremonies, and cultural events. These languages are considered "classical" rather than dead as they still serve a purpose in certain settings.
How many dead languages are there?
Hard to know. Most languages are spoken and are never written. When languages like that disappear, they leave no trace. Another reason it is hard to know is that languages change all the time and it is tricky trying to figure out when they have changed into a new language. Usually we know when a written language becomes so different from its spoken counterpart that the language represented by the written language has died. Latin was still used as a written language long after people only spoke the languages it had morphed into--the Romance languages of French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and so on. A similar process happened when Old English morphed into Middle English: people were still writing Old English after it was really a dead language.
