Globalization has significantly promoted the international communication. As a consequence, the disadvantaged culture are confronting with the sever impact from those dominant culture. More and more people who have ever used lesser-known languages, especially the young, choose to speak the more general language in order to get a better chance of education, jobs and other social communication. To some extent, the threat of extinction that those lesser-known languages are confronting with is a corollary brought by social progress. It has been said that the governments of those countries in which some languages are being lost should act to prevent them from becoming extinct. Yet there are so many languages and their respective conditions are so differential that whether and how should the government protect them is far beyond being as simple as "to do or not to do".

For those languages which are too rare and uncommon, the government's protection to them won't make a big difference. Because of the extremely tiny number of the language users,
the invest to maintain the language is just like the respirator which makes artificial breath of a dying person. Even the life of the language is elongated, the real value behind it has become very little. For instance, there are several types of vernacular in Nepal which have only very few users still alive. What those linguists can do is just recording some sentences or balladry, which actually do not contribute anything to the so-called culture preservation.


As a matter of fact, people taking up 3% of the whole population are using more than 96% languages in the world. As disadvantaged side in the globalization, many lesser-known languages are being lost under the impact of other dominant culture and languages. Yet fortunately, many of those languages can still be saved, or even become thriving again with the aid from governments. For these languages, the governments should act to prevent them from becoming extinct.

On one hand, languages, as the carrier of a nation's culture, is critically important for the preservation of culture. Therefore, those lesser-known languages, which take up a big proportion of the total number of the world's languages, are concerned with keeping human being's cultural diversity. To ensure the social development of both technology and culture, the government should take measures to care about the less popular languages and aid them so that they can survive and advance in this industrialized era. For instance, Norwegian government has been appropriated a fund of nearly 30 million euro a year to help one local vernacular make TV programs and establish bilanguage educating system in order to preserve this unique culture in Norway.


On the other hand, to prevent those lesser-known languages won't cost too much public resources. On the contrary, the promotion of some specific national culture might attract foreign scholars and tourists, which will be of great help to spread the culture and drive the economic. In western China, for instance, the languages and cultures of the minority nations there have brought a lot of tourists to visit every year. The income of tourism has been an import financial source for the local government. At the same time, those cultures have arouse great attention and get better preservation. This kind of benign cycle no doubt frees their languages from the threat of extinction.

No one would like to live in a country where all the people are speaking the same languages and having the same customs. The deficit of comparison and reference from the various cultures will make the human's civilization simple and meaningless. In sum, government should act to prevent some lesser-known languages from becoming extinct. And this is not just about preserving the languages themselves, but the whole culture the language conveys.

Even the government sacrifices a lot to save these languages, what those linguistics can do is just recording some sentences and balladry. Although they do contribute to the preservation of the so-called cultural diversity, compared with the cost, the government’s devotion might be not that meaningful.

As a matter of fact, people taking up 3% of the whole population are using more than 96% languages in the world, and that is, the small languages take up a big proportion of the total number of human being’s language types. Yet due to the comparatively less--—for some of them, sparse—users, those languages are disadvantaged side in the globalization, and many lesser-known languages are being lost under the impact of other dominant culture and languages. But fortunately, many of them can still be saved, or even become thriving again with the aid from governments. For these languages, the governments should act to prevent them from becoming extinct.

On one hand, language,
as the carrier of a nation's culture, is critically important for the preservation of culture as is known to everyone, is critically important for the preservation of a nation’s culture. Therefore, those lesser-known languages, which make up a big part of the total number of the world's languages

Thus the government should take measures to care about the less popular languages and aid them so that they can survive and advance in this industrialized era. For instance, Norwegian government has been appropriating a fund of nearly 30 million euro a year to help one local vernacular make TV programs and establish bilanguage educating system in order to preserve this unique culture in Norway.

Moreover, the existence of the lesser-known languages will ensure human being’s cultural diversity, which is great treasure for our descendants. Few will dispute that this kind of invest is meaningless.

On one hand, languages, as the carrier of a nation's culture, is critically important for the preservation of culture. Therefore, those lesser-known languages, which take up a big proportion of the total number of the world's languages
(这点很奇怪,既然lesser-known 那是什么take up a big proportion?), are concerned with keeping human being's cultural diversity. To ensure the social development of both technology and culture(这里感觉特像保护语言也能develop technology,虽然我能理解你是想表达二者要兼顾,但直线思维的老米不着能明白不,就算是我也是因为再三考虑猜你要表达这个意思的), the government should take measures to care about the less popular languages and aid them so that they can survive and advance in this industrialized era. For instance, Norwegian government has been appropriated a fund of nearly 30 million euro a year to help one local vernacular make TV programs and establish bilanguage educating system in order to preserve this unique culture in Norway.(这个例子看似证明了你前面development的观点,但其实仔细一想就会发现漏洞。例子中只体现了挪威政府保护这个语言的行动和目的,那实际效果呢?如果你要证明你的development就要举保护了以后culturedeveloped了的例子)



划线两句话相悖,而且前一句提的很没说服力,那些只是表面现象,就算是只能用来讲些sentences or balladry了,那就没文化价值了?

(很奇怪,为什么改了两篇文都认为保护濒危语言不需要很多资源?这个建议查下相关资料。米饭是查了很多资料才敢这样质疑的。就算是你后面举得例子也看不出won't cost too much public resources我大可以这样问:你怎么知道旅游业的收入就能补上花在保护那些文化上的钱呢?再者,保护语言真的不是这么简单的,还是建议查资料)

Yet there are so many languages and their respective conditions are so differential that whether and how should the government protect them is far beyond being as simple as "to do or not to do".开头感觉有些突兀~末尾的总结很不错。

As a matter of fact, (这里又感觉有些突兀。应该写道根据什么什么调查显示比较好吧~)people taking up 3% of the whole population are using more than 96% languages in the world, and that is, the small languages take up a big proportion of the total number of human being’s language types. Yet due to the comparatively less--—for some of them, sparse—users, those languages are disadvantaged side in the globalization, and many lesser-known languages are being lost under the impact of other dominant culture and languages. But fortunately, many of them can still be saved, or even become thriving again with the aid from governments. For these languages, the governments should act to prevent them from becoming extinct.

For instance, Norwegian government has been appropriating a fund of nearly 30 million euro a year to help one local vernacular make TV programs and establish bilanguage educating system in order to preserve this unique culture in Norway. And this significantly helps the language spread and continue. 2红处感觉逻辑有些混乱~

On the other hand, to prevent those lesser-known languages may cost a lot, but the government and people will get more from the preservation. The promotion of some specific national culture might attract foreign scholars and tourists, which will be of great help to spread the culture and drive the economic.

And this is not just about preserving the languages themselves, but the whole culture the language conveys。结尾很不错。深华的很好。感觉本文最大的问题就是作者的观点不明确。一下支持,一下反对。也许是想写全面。中立。但是,我个人觉得。开头和结尾应该说明。然后中间的字词可以换成更加舒缓一点的。加油~
那些无法击垮我的东西,只会使我更加强大.
