Language is a vastly important tool for humankind
and there are myriad types available across the world.Sadly, quite a few of them are made to be obsolete every passing year. A section of society believes that
is happening for good
and will help bridging the
gap among people.

thought process; there are pros and cons of diminishing numbers of languages.
On one hand, It is true, and often seems obvious that a few
would mean, people will have to do with lesser hassles in their day-to-day life.Life would have been so much easier if there are only few languages to learn,

the communication barrier
. Language is a tool to convey messages;
, due to a plenty of them, people often struggle to converse with each other.

time, he had to face problem to find accommodation due to language gap.He did not know french and had hard times communicating with people there.
show, it is difficult to visit places without knowing the language of the land.
, Languages have not only indigenous culture associated with them, but they have an important role to play in daily life. Different races of people are identified by their mother tongues, and losing them will only mean that their identity are at a loss. If the modes of
are limited by a few,
the society will lose the charm of pluralism.There is a beauty in diversity
it teaches each other about the rituals and learnings it has.
, it is an ominous sign that we lose several of dialects as the time progresses, and suitable measures must be taken to preserve them.
, once widely spoken language
Tulu, is now obsolete
because people have moved on to other widely used
medium: Hindi and English.
, the Tulu culture is
nearing extinction.The beauty of
world is in the variety of life and their culture and it must be taken care for the greater good of society.
In conclusion, the benefits and disadvantages are balanced, and the fate of forgotten languages should be left on its own.It is the evolution, which takes
