Yes. However, a reduction in languages is usually linked with major authoritian episodes. For example, the rise of Latin associated with the dominance of the Romans. Or English, French, and Spanish with colonial dominance.
Any future reduction in language diversity will likely, unfortunately, be linked with such a period. Wouldn’t want to live through it, but it’s probable it’ll occur at some point, if you give us a long enough timescale.
