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?
A number of languages have gone extinct over the
last
few decades. Although
many individuals are of the opinion that it is critical to preserve each and every language
, I believe that having only a few common languages will make our lives easier.
Each language
is unique to a culture and learning it is a great way to understand that culture. Also
, languages create a sense of unity and belongings among people. For instance
, whenever two individuals from the same country meet in a foreign place, they are excited to communicate in their native language
. Obviously, language
helps the bonding between people.
On the other hand
, in this
age of globalization, it is highly beneficial to speak a common language
in order to avoid confusion and facilitate effective communication. Using a link language
like English has helped nations to come closer and increased trade and commerce among them. If we had not chosen a single language
to communicate globally, even the advent of technology could not have helped us to achieve the kind of progress we have achieved now. Much like work experience, knowing a widely used language
helps the career prospects of individuals. For example
, nowadays, English is the medium of instruction in a number of schools all over the world. Even in countries where English is not the first
or second
language
, there are English medium schools because people have realized that this
language
is the key to professional success.
In conclusion, although
it is important to save the languages from dying, it is not hard to see that a common language
is in everyone’s interest. It boosts trade and commerce between countries and enhances the career prospects of individuals. Hence
, in my opinion, the extinction of not so popular local languages is not a major cause for concern.Submitted by sahand.kiya1991 on
