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?
Language
preservation is becoming increasingly important in many nations. According to some people
, it would be much easier for everyone if humanity had only one language
. In this
essay, we will look into some aspects of language
preservation and explain its importance.
There are more than a thousand languages
that are alive today. These languages
represent their unique structure, unique sounds and meanings. Every single language
is a part of a unique culture that shapes people
and the environment around it. It is possible to say that language
is directly related to human relations, traditions, customs and even cuisine. If a language
is forgotten, all these along with history and more will be forgotten with it. Moreover
, these languages
are taught by parents in small communities. New members of those communities keep the language
alive by teaching it to their children as their parents did. Some languages
may possibly become forgotten as each person leaves the community or one less speaker for that language
. That is
why we think language
preservation is important.
On the other hand
, others believe that having a few languages
leads to a more convenient life. The disappearance of language
was due to globalization which has forced people
to communicate in an international language
. By speaking a couple of languages
, such
as English, Chinese and Spanish, you can communicate with billions of people
throughout the world. Some people
have an opinion that the extinction of the language
is not a serious threat to the world because most of them that die out are minor languages
.
In conclusion, it seems to me that although
commonly spoken languages
may make life more convenient, the diversity of languages
represents the world civilization and they should be passed to the further
generation.Submitted by dr.phitsineevet4 on
