It is true that
minority
 languages may disappear in the near future.
Although
 it can be argued that governments could save
money
 by allowing
this
 to happen, I believe that these languages should be protected and preserve. There are several reasons why saving
minority
 languages could be seen as a waste of
money
.
Firstly
, if a
language
 is only spoken by a small number of people, expensive education programmes will be needed to make sure that more people learn it, and the state has to pay for the facilities, teachers and marketing.
This
money
 might better spent on other public services.
Secondly

 that government should try to preserve languages that are less widely spoken. A

money
 in the short term if we allow
minority
 languages to disappear, but in the long term
this
 would have an extremely negative impact on our cultural heritage.
