In Bolivia, there are concerns that in 90 years only German could be spoken in the country due to a German-speaking minority. The reason is the birth rate: While a Bolivian woman has an average of 1.56 children, the birth rate among the small Mennonite minority that speaks Plautdietsch (a Low German variant) is significantly higher. In contrast, no one cares that in Europe in 10 years only Arabic will be spoken. (translated)
