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 exyent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, numerous
languages
have disappeared in the world. While
some people
say that fewer languages
lead to an easier life. In my opinion, the disadvantages of language
extinction outweigh the advantages.
On the one hand, life might become convenient if all of the people
speak the same language
. Firstly
, The governments of countries that have considerable populations set up official languages
to promote the policy easily. For example
, although
China is a multicultural country, Chinese teachers merely need to teach lessons in their official language
, Mandarin, in the school. Secondly
, lawmakers don’t need to set up laws in numerous languages
since most of the citizens speak the same language
. Finally
, people
who have different races can cultivate a sense of belonging and unity of
the nation.

On the other hand
, language
is linked with the culture
. The various languages
symbolize the diversity of the culture
. The extinction of any languages
results in the disappearance of their culture
. Humans would feel disoriented if we lost our culture
, the history of our races and the memories of our ancestors. For instance
, in Taiwan, people
often name cities because of certain historical events. Furthermore
, if people
around the globe all speak a single language
, the world will become boring and dull. We like to establish connections and contact because every individual has different experiences. If we all speak the same language
, we will not only lose the diversity of languages
but also
lose the fascinating chances of exchanging our differences.
To sum up
, although
it is necessary for big countries to unify their language
to consolidate national power, we should still keep the diversity of languages
in order to protect our culture
and history. According to
the reason above, I disagree with the saying “several languages
die out is not important.”Submitted by BeckyJ on
