Many of the world’s lesser-known languages are being lost as fewer and fewer people speak them. The government of countries in which these languages are spoken should act to prevent such languages from becoming extinct.
As globalization become a tendency among all nations dotted on the world, as one result of which culture gradually tends to assimilate, especially, the language. Certain assimilation of language is bound to extinction of some lesser-known ones, and thus invites us humans to think about the reason why it has happened, where the meaning lies to prevent them from disappearance, and how we should face it. After further thinking over these questions, should we still take it for granted that governments can just shrug their shoulder, and then stand by with folded-arms to do nothing on these languages being endangered?
Apparently, many people will regard languages extinction as such a naturally-coming happenings resulting from colonization in the 19th century, migration in the 20th century, and globalization in the 21th century, on a large scale, just like the extinction of a great deal of species owing to natural selection. Accordingly, it is just a process we should let it be instead of making a fuss about it. In addition, more and more young people become enjoying using words in vogue, even making some kinds in pursuit of fashion in order to show off their ability to keep abreast with the world. However, is that all we can find to convince governments not to lend a helping hand to them, overlooking the chilling consequence that if we doing so, not only a sense of self-pride, dignity, value will be deprived off from individuals in those countries, but also an ever-lost absence of history and culture? Can we endure? Can we afford?
A language, no matter how few people use it, how many people heard about it, it is always a manifestation of pride and existence in one’s feeling notably when they confronted with people not speaking the same one. Humans are potentially replenished a basically psychological need of identity and dignity, only through their own languages. If certain languages extinct, those who always speak it will suddenly find that their unique weakened badly with the death of their tongues.(这个观点很好~)
What’s more, (这里递进关系不明显呐)actions taken by government to prevent endangered languages are actually good deeds serving to preserve nation’s splendid histories. Just cast a light over numerous events in history written down in these languages, picturesque scenes promptly spread in front of humans’ eyes, which other languages will never document so detailed, let alone the typical national figures. Furthermore, despite significant meanings to the very individual and nation, to historians and worldwide historic research, these languages also carry a lot weights.
Finally, what is the most crucial is that language is a carrier of a specific culture, relying on language to inherit, disseminate, and prosper. Losing such languages, essences in thoughts and philosophy, mores and beliefs, customs and traditions, all vanish into air, and pass out of existence. And that it won’t be difficult for us to realize that it is the diversity in languages that creates magnificent and harmonious atmosphere in worldwide culture. (这里好像和前面重复了~)
In the final analysis, languages play vital roles in personal identity in the world, preservation in precious history, and integration in culture. Inexorably, certain ones will collapse into a dilemma where their existences are threatened. Nonetheless, governments have to and must place enough emphasis on it, and then take affirmative measures to prevent it since its indispensable consequence.
