too long; didn’t read- ELT

We all know the number of languages is decreasing across the world. 😢
But what about the number of dialects- going up ⬆ or down ⬇?

According to this article– the number is on the rise.
There are currently approx. 160 English dialects spoken around the world.

Why do you think one figure is on the rise 📈 while the other figure is going down 📉? 🤔
