Although many of the world’s lesser-known languages are used by fewer and fewer people, the government of the countries in which these languages are spoken have responsibilities to take action to protect them from being lost.


Language is a necessary tool for people to communicate with each other in daily life. Imagine that we just can express our ideas by gestures, eye contacts or other non-language ways, it would be difficult to convey very accurate information. When we were kids, we played charade with our friends. Although the words that we performed were not difficult, it was not easy to get all right answers. Except the practical value, language is also a symbol of a culture. It can stands for the history, culture and spirit of one ethic group or one country. The characters of language express the main character of that ethic group or that country. For instance, French is famous for its euphonious pronunciation and France is the most romantic country throughout the world. One word in Chinese might have several different meanings, which could help us to understand the long history of China. English is the most widely used language in the world, especially American English. It includes a lot of words that from different other languages. From this phenomenon, we could feel the diversity of American culture.


Although some languages are spoken by fewer and fewer people, it still has great value in archaeology research. We could use language to study the life thousands years ago and read the books written by people from ancient times. Nowadays, there is no one know Egypt hieroglyph in the world. Thus, it brings large difficulties to interpret Egyptian papyruses into modern language. The researcher had to guess the meaning according to their experience. If hieroglyph was not extinct, it would help to reveal many Egypt mysteries that confusing the world for hundreds of years.

As the process of globalization moving on, especially in the fields of economy and business, the world is tending to make everything the same. English is spoken as the business language around the world. Euro is used as the common currency in most part of Europe. It seems that the world is becoming a large unity. However, the excess globalization would make the colorful world extinct, although the globalization might reduce the conflict between different countries and increase the profits that each country could gain. What makes a country or ethic group different from others is the unique culture and language, which stand for the really independence of that country or ethic group. And the anti-globalization in the field of culture might contribute to the increase the diversity of world culture.

In order to maintain the plural culture of our world, the governments of the countries who spoken lesser-known languages should take action to protect their own treasures. On one side, the governments could ask the linguists to record the language in order to take an integral record before its extinction. On the other side, the governments should establish some active policy to promote the study of the language. In this way, the language could get away from being extinct and may have some new development at the same time.
