Languages
play a significant role for every
country
as they are the mirror of traditions and uniqueness of that
country
. Many
languages
have become outdated with the passage of time. Some believe that it is good that some
languages
lose their identity as it will create the feeling of brotherhood and people are able to know each other very thoroughly whereas some folks are of the view that it has more disadvantages. I advocate the latter statement,
this
essay will highlight its merits and demerits with the help of some relevant examples.
On the one hand, there are myriads of advantages of having some
languages
.
Firstly
, it will promote businesses and international trade in
this
present era of globalisation.
In other words
, people are facing
language
issues if they have to start their business in a foreign
country
.
Therefore
, with the knowledge of a few
languages
, it will be quite convenient to form a company or liaison office in a different
country
.
Additionally
, it will increase employment opportunities for many people who are struggling to learn a different
language
.
Secondly
,
this
would
also
favour tourism. To elaborate, many foreigners are not able to explore a
country
without knowing the native
language
of that place.
For example
, many tourists visit Agra to see the Taj Mahal, but because of the
language
they are not able to deeply understand the history of
such
a historic place.
On the contrary
, it will give rise to a plethora of negative consequences if a particular
language
dies.
To begin
with, the integrity and unity of different cultures would become extinct. If a
language
dies, a culture dies with it, both are interlinked. To illustrate, some ancient
languages
have been written on the walls of historic monuments and they represent a culture.
However
, those
languages
having no native speakers could not unfold the secrets of the cultures in the ancient era. The
second
demerit is that many religions have their own speeches to speak about their own traditions and cultures.
For example
, Bhojpuri is a
language
that reflects religion and locals like to use it for conversation and expressing their emotions. If the same will die, that place loses its identity and unity.
To conclude, I believe that every
language
has its own meaning and importance and it should be appreciated and welcome with love. Despite some merits of having fewer
languages
, demerits outweigh its merits.
