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 disagree or agree?

of different communities. Language greatly helps in researching useful facts about far-flung places outside the cities. It can have scientific and educational significance.

Also

, many kinds of literature, songs, and poems are narrated only in local languages.

For example

, there are many famous pieces of folk music and lyrics written in the regional languages of the northern and southern parts of India. It may not be feasible to learn multiple languages at the same time.

However

, it has been observed that learning and speaking multiple languages is beneficial to the mind. Psychological studies have proven that multilingual ability is an asset to the cognitive process. It enhances problem solving skills, decision-making ability and exercises our brain activities.

Although

it is argued that more languages cause confusion and difficulty in conversing, I feel it is a false perception. People can use their mother tongue for conversing with their family and friends and an international language like English for official communication.

For example

, I live in Mumbai and use Hindi to communicate with my colleagues, friends and

understand Marathi because it is my state language. My understanding of multiple languages has only benefited me in my professional and personal life. In summary, I suppose attempts should be made to preserve dying languages as much possible. The essence and originality of some artistic, literary and methodical works might disappear and it may no longer be accessible if languages vanish. These advantages overweigh any difficulty that we might encounter because of the existence of multiple languages in the world.
