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.
