    Language convergence occurs when languages come to structurally resemble one another through prolonged contact, regardless of whether they belong to the same language family. Language extinction can happen due to dominance of one language over others or external pressures like those from trade and commerce. There are several types of language death, including gradual death where a language is replaced in formal contexts, bottom-to-top death where a language is lost as a native language but remains in some formal uses, sudden death from disaster or violence, and radical death from political repression. The Philippines experiences language convergence as Filipinos commonly practice bilingualism or multilingualism.
