Зачем?Данное название является прямым переводом "endangered languages", более-менее устойчивого термина. Кроме того, собственно мёртвые языки в данную проблематику не входят.
То же самое, только короче. В чём разница между "угрожаемыми" и "вымирающими"?
или "мёртвые языки".
Отнюдь не то же самое, что мёртвые языки. Юкагирский язык вымирает уже более ста лет и всё жив.
А это тогда что?
Теория смерти языка.Если назвать так, как Вы предлагаете - смысл раздела расплывётся и будут сюда валить материалы по этрусскому/палайскому/галльскому и т.д. языкам, потому что они мёртвые.Согласитесь, есть разница между изучением языков, вышедших из употребления, и изучением причин выхода языков из употребления.
Полагаю, в таком случае корректнее ставить вопрос "а что, существует такое слово/термин?", чем "давайте переименуем раздел, потому что его нынешнее название мне незнакомо".К слову, все, кто когда-либо добавлял файлы в раздел, ни разу не ошиблись в плане соответствия файла тематике.Отсюда:
Это - "угрожающий". А угрожаемый (не ложится термин на ухо россиянина) - это подвергающийся угрозам. (видимый - который видно, угрожаемый = которому угрожают), п0н0симый - который п0н0сят). (автоцензора обманываю).
Если назвать так, как Вы предлагаете - смысл раздела расплывётся и будут сюда валить материалы по этрусскому/палайскому/галльскому и т.д. языкам, потому что они мёртвые.
Зачем, если изменить название подраздела, "пихать" сюда все мертвые и вымирающие языки. Вы же не перенесёте сюда, к примеру, грамматику латинского языка? Но если, к примеру, будет файл "причины вымирания латинского языка", разве не целесообразнее будет добавить его именно в этот подраздел?
