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?
One
of the rapid changes in today’s world is the eradication of some local languages
. There is now a debate over whether or not we should embrace this
change or be worried about it. There is a group of people who believe fewer languages
means easier communication. I completely disagree with this
view as I think there would be several negative consequences along with it.
To begin
with, behind each language
and linguistic rule lied a hidden treasure. In other words
, each language
is representative of the unique culture
of a nation. Many anecdotes, fables, and poets in each language
are formed as a result
of a historic event in that particular culture
, and with languages
dying out, a part of human history will be lost. A good example of this
would be foreign country's invasions to another country in history, which led to the complete diminishment of local culture
, such
as the case with the Egyptian invasion to
Syria which ruined the unique communication style of the Syrian people.

Although
it might sound easier to have just one
universal language
and get yourself free from language
barrier problems, there is one
point missing here and that is
the loss of language
diversity attraction for tourists. For instance
, imagine one
day all people around the world speak in English, which is currently one
of the most popular languages
, no enthusiasm and curiosity would be left in this
case for tourists to explore another country and culture
.
In a nutshell, I firmly believe the disadvantages of complete removal of a language
from the course of history will significantly outweigh its possible advantage. As much as communicating in a universal language
may look exciting, but it would result in loss of cultural diversity and local literature attraction to travellers.Submitted by mgolzarahmadi on
