Every year several languages die out. Some people think that it is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. To what extend do you agree or disagree with opinion?

We are facing the situation when every year a number of languages go extinct. Some people tend to think that it will be easier to communicate if there are fewer languages spoken around the globe. In
this
essay, I will explore
this
opinion and explain why I completely disagree with the notion.
Firstly
, in many nations, native speech is
also
referred to as the mother tongue. Being able to speak your native dialect strengthens the national identity and supports the national philosophy.
For instance
, it is inarguable that historical traditions and cultural heritage are strongly bound to a native language.
Furthermore
, folklore masterpieces,
such
as fairy tales, legends and poems have been

tongue. Unfortunately, the meaning of a certain word or expression can easily be lost in translation,
therefore
it is always better to read a certain book in

For instance

language is a key factor contributing to cultural diversity and peaceful international relationships.
For example
, there are more than a hundred nationalities residing peacefully in Kazakhstan due to the fact that everyone has a right to learn and speak his own native tongue.
This
country is the most peaceful place in the world.
However

people are prohibited to use their own way of verbal communication,
thus
causing social tension and conflicts,
Moreover
, these nationalities are being prosecuted and sent to special concentration camps where they are used as labour force while they are forced to speak

. In conclusion, I strongly disagree that language extinction is not important.
Moreover
, I think that national heritage and peaceful living are of more importance to us.
