Languages, having been used by human to communicate with each other for thousands of years, are signs of the history of different nations and convey national expression. As many of the world's lesser-known languages are disappearing, more and more people realize the deep meaning of them and try to save the losing languages. As far as I am concerned, languages are precious legacy given by our ancestors, but at the same time, they are just tools.

Language is a character that only belongs to human being and as a result distinguishes human from ordinary animals. An independent nation always has its own languages and regards it as nation's sign and pride. As has been put by Alphonse Daudet in the short story The Last Class, in a small village which was to be invaded in the Franco-Prussian War, teacher give students the last class in French and the school was forbidden to teach in French in future. All the villagers went to the class and said goodbye to teacher, as well as their mother tongue, in sorrow. The lost of their language, to some degree, means the lost of their belief and their nation. Language is not only words and expressions, but also the net that carries human's love knot of their homeland.

Language is also a sign of history without which the past of a nation would be forgotten by the descendent. Culture is conveyed by language because it must be recorded by language. Until now, there are still many discovered cultures can't be understood by modern people for the reasons that the languages recorded them have been lost as time went by. The symbols on the stones hardly mean anything if no one could read them.

However, language is only a tool by which human could survive and have high-level civilizations, rather than the destiny of developing. From the first time language born, the goal of basic word such as "hey”,"yeah" or something else, is to make communication among individuals easier. Even though can be transferred to other modes such as writing, the intention of language has never changed during thousands of years. The world is becoming smaller and smaller as the technology developing in an ever high speed, and the unifying language can promote the developing of high-tech. It's a common rule that some lesser-known languages are being lost because it is a process of the developing of world-wide civilization and accord with the ordinary rules. The great thinker Karl Marx has said:” Everything that promotes the developing of social process is to be assisted."
As a consequence, it's not necessary for governments of countries to prevent the languages from becoming extinct.

In sum, the language is a sign and pride of a nation and records the culture of human beings, but at the same time, it’s just a tool. Considering both cultural and practical aspects, the best way is just record the languages that becoming extinct so that on the one hand, cultural research could not be influenced by the extinction, and on the other hand, social efforts could be largely decreased in saving those languages.
