every year several language 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?

Admittedly, some
minority
languages
 are facing extinction nowadays, because the population of certain speakers are decreasing each year.
Therefore
, some people advocate it is easier to only use a few mainstream
languages
,
minority
languages
 are becoming less important. I disagree with
this
 point of view. I think
minority
languages
 are as important as other commonly-used
languages
 and should not be ignored by society. It is true that using only one or two
languages
 could eliminate the language barrier and maximize communication efficiency.
First
, take the most widely-speaking language- English, as an example, which popularized in over 190 countries. The difficulty and cost of learning
such
 a widely spoken language are lower than learning
minority
languages
, so Individuals may feel much easier and comfortable to study.
Second
, the government could save more budget on public expenditures by closing special services to certain
languages
 speaking groups.
For instance
, in some native reserve places, local authorities need to spend extra tax revenue in those specialized
minority
 language schools. By replacing it with a normal school, money can be saved. In spite of the benefits of reducing the usage of endangered
languages
, the drawbacks are more obvious. On the one hand, Different
languages
 may contain its’ own culture and history content. Without a wide range of
languages
, the world would become less interesting and lose cultural diversity, which leads some norms and traditions to disappear. the historical legacy of
minority
languages
 could be useful in the researches of human civilization.
On the other hand
, people who speak certain
languages
 may feel isolated and lonely,
this
 may cause society unstable issues. To sum up, it is true that endangered
languages
 may not suit contemporary society in some aspects.
However
, it is still worth to be preserved, because the cultural and historical values are unpredictable.
