We often hear that: "one world, one dream." It is not surprising that the globalization is really diminishing the differences among cultures. At the same time, there is a crucial problem that many lesser-known languages are being lost(losing比较好吧) because fewer and fewer people speak them. So the author
suggests that governments of these countries should do something to prevent languages from being extinct. From my personal perspective, such a problem needs governments to call for a balanced thought.
To begin with, it is the responsibility of the governments of countries which languages are being lost to protect their mother tongues. It is true that, in order to pursue stability and prosperity, a lot of governments encourage their people to study a second language, and even some of them have to change the second language to their official language. But they may never predict that one day their native language will died forever. Recently, some scholars said(前后时态不同,改一处), except for the convenience and benefits of globalization, over half of the world's seven thousand languages, unfortunately, are in danger of disappearing. A survey points out that every two weeks one language disappears, so experts proposed to establish a language museum which could be applied to collect non-existing languages. This assertion not just shocks us, but also indicates the emergency of this problem. Since a local language of its country is the tool of local people to communicate with their ancestors and each other, if its people do not use their native language, or if they have to learn their native language from museums, then its traditional culture and rich heritage may disappear together with their language. Then, what will happen to the country? The function of governments is to guarantee their people and offspring to have a sustainable development not only with substance but also with culture and spirit.. Therefore, these governments should ensure that their lesser-known languages stop disappearing.
Furthermore, languages disappearing will be a disaster for all (of the) people(只能用all people 或 all of the people), which is just like being extinct animals. Because the valuable information contained within a language is abundant, once it loses, it loses forever. It just likes the dinosaurs never back to earth again. For example, a lot of ancient languages include the helpful information about local medicine, plants and animals, which might be the knowledge that some scientists try to research all their lives. When the language died, the information will be unknown to scientists. So all of people have the duty to protect the lesser-known languages in case they disappear from our world.
However, different countries have their own urgent issues; the intensity of protecting being lost language should be based on different situations, especially for the relatively laggard countries, since there are several reasons for language’s extinction which include economic reason, utility, and the world trends. From these we could see that the strength of the country will influence its language disappearing directly. Because many counties have to put more energy to focus on the most emergent problems, such as famine, homeless or unemployment, and it will be cruel for the governments to solve language problem but ignore these troubles. In my opinion, if the governments do not have the ability to resolve it by themselves, they could find other solutions, like seeking some organizations for help, developing some charities for disappearing language or setting up scholarship to encourage students to study the lesser-known language.
All in all, as I have mentioned above, the governments of countries with these lesser-known languages should weigh carefully about this problem. With the backdrop of worldwide tide, they could do their best to protect the disappearing language or resort to other solutions to prevent languages from being extinct.
