Several languages are in danger of extinction because they are spoken by very small numbers of people. Some people say that governments should spend public money on saving these langugages, while others believe that would be a waste of money. Discuss both these views and give your opinions
In contemporary society, there are
languages
that become endangered due to
an extremely small number of native speakers. It is thought by some people that this
phenomenon must be solved with financial support from the government, whereas
others find it more disadvantageous because it is a waste of money. This
essay will discuss both aspects and provide a logical conclusion.
On the one hand, the extinction of the languages
means not only the disappearance of native speakers but also
the loss of communities` traditions and customs. In recent decades, numerous languages
of infinitesimal communities have been added to the endangered list. For
this
reason, the government should take measures in order to prevent the disappearance of these tongues and help to preserve individuals` cultures. For instance
, the loss of language is usually associated with a decreasing trend of communication in these lexicons, therefore
, constructing more schools which include the education of local languages
will foster interaction among children and make a contribution to saving the language.
On the other hand
, there are proponents who believe that money should not be spent on it. The foremost reason for this
idea is that governmental money can be invested in other spheres such
as increasing pensions or salaries. Moreover
, it cannot be denied that obscure tongues do not play a significant role in the worldwide community. Instead
, spreading already familiar languages
including English can lead to bringing nations closer, thus
contributing to the overall
development.
To conclude
, it is argued whether endangered languages
should be preserved with the help of the government or be ignored. Although
the finances could be spent on other fields, it would be mindful to consider the values of communities` languages
as well as
customs and traditions.Submitted by chtpstmy42 on
