Every year several languages die out. Some people think that 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?

Although
several languages are becoming extinct every year, the situation seems irrelevant to some people. For some, it will be less difficult if there are fewer language in the
world
. But, since we have lots of different cultures and thoughts, and these differences are described in different languages, it is important preserving all these languages.
Firstly
, our
world
is comprised of a variety of human races which live in different parts around the globe. Each

lives
in their own particular places and develop their distinctive civilizations.
Then
, those cultures derive into words, phrases and becoming languages.
For example
, the greeting posture both in Thailand and India are the similar, but it is called “Wai” in Thailand and “Namaste” in India.
This
gives us the picture of how people in different societies have their own impact on languages.
Also
, how the language represent the way of life, too.
Secondly
, thoughts
such
as “Feng Shui” in China or “Bushido” in Japan, are the products from the civilization that has nurtured the society for over centuries.
For instance
, “Feng Shui” is a phrase meaning “Good spirit” in Chinese, and it
also
impacts their homes and their way of living. One particular example is Hong Kong, despite being a former British colony, its preserved Chinese values which come from the language has made Hong Kong’s buildings very distinctive and made the city famous of its skyline. So, thoughts and beliefs are represented within the languages.
Finally
, since all those cultures, thought and beliefs which impact on lives in different areas around the
world
are all connected with the languages.
Thus
, it is crucial preserving those languages to keep our
world
vibrant.
