Band 6

Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion.

Language
 is the means of communication. There is no denying the fact the life would be a whole lot easier if we all spoke the same
language
.
However
,
this
 does not mean that we should let languages die. In the past,
language
 barriers used to prevent people living in one part of the
world
 from communicating with people living in another part.

 to the availability of better modes of transport people are

the act of going from one place to another
travelling
 to other countries and continents.
This
 has
also
 led to the massive adoption of languages spoken in the developed
world
. English is a good example. People coming from developing countries are trying hard to learn English because it opens many doors.
This
 is definitely a positive development. On the flip side, the
world
 wide adoption of a couple of languages that have a large number of speakers has led to the death of several less popular languages. These are mainly the languages spoken in the developing
world
. Some of them don’t have a large number of speakers. Others do have enough speakers, but learning or speaking them do not improve a person’s career prospects and
hence
 they do not enjoy acceptance even in their countries.
For example
, most parents in India now send their children to English medium schools because English enhances their employability. Unfortunately,
this
 is leading to the death of several local languages. When a
language
 dies, the culture associated with it is
also
 dying.
This
 may have far reaching consequences. When communities adopt foreign languages and allow their mother tongues to die, they are actually allowing their culture and legacy to die. In the process, they will
also
 lose their identity. To conclude, the death of local languages is an alarming development. There is no harm in adopting a popular
language
 like English. It will make communication easier and improve our lives.
However
, we should still keep our mother tongues alive by using them within our country and community.
