As languages such as English, Spanish, and Mandarin become more widely spoken, there is a concern that many minority languages may disappear. Some countries have taken steps to protect minority languages. What is your view of this practice?
Nowadays, many minority
languages
have been threatened to be eliminated by the expansion of widely spoken languages
like English, Spanish, and Mandarin. This
issue makes some people
take action to maintain their native spoken language
due to several reasons like the importance of the language
in the local culture
. However
, Other people
believe there are many benefits to predominating certain languages
, and I agree with this
point of view.
Some people
claim that replacing the native-spoken language
with global languages
brings many disadvantages. Firstly
, The native-spoken language
is the link between the past and now. It keeps people
’s relations with their culture
and knowledge of the ancient. However
, there are some ways to protect against this
problem like interpreting important books in international languages
. Secondly
, the beauty of our world
is its diversity. The expansion of some specific languages
might destroy many aspects of the local culture
. This
leads to a change from many interesting diverse cultures to a boring integrated culture
.
Other people
believe that, on the other hand
, there are much more advantages to the development of widely spoken languages
such
as English, Spanish, and Mandarin. On the top, communication among many parts of the world
becomes easier. There is no need to learn many languages
or use an interpreter instead
people
can communicate and live everywhere by speaking one or maybe two languages
. Furthermore
, The cultural and religious difficulties among people
can be solved by close understanding. It might lead to a decrease in conflicts and wars between countries.
In conclusion, while the local culture
and language
are very crucial for many people
, global language
can bring many benefits for all people
around the world
. I believe that the most critical benefit is the one common spoken language
among people
of the world
contributes to better understanding and peace.Submitted by omid.afsharpour on
