Language preservation
Have you ever thought of one day when your mother tongue will die?
To tell you the truth, one language disappears within every 2 weeks, and this trend will not stop in a long term. It is reported by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that because of increasing globalization and improper language policy, about half of languages all over the world will face the danger of extinction by the year 2100. The data also show that within 6,000 kinds of languages, there are about 43% of them have been already threatened. The red mark of crisis are almost everywhere in the world.
How do these languages disappear?
Generally speaking, endangered languages are those minority languages or regional languages without the state pattern. There are many reasons for why they risk danger. One external factor is related to the tiny number of people who use them. Also, a language at risk is distributed in different and isolated areas and it doesn’t meet the need of social transformation. When we dive into internal factors, we can see weak languages or languages without writing system, of which vocabulary and grammar cannot keep pace with the demand of complicated social communication.
Why do languages deserve protection?
In fact, languages themselves are the part of culture, carrying and encouraging culture to go on. One of the necessary job to protect human culture is to protect endangered languages. Languages remain traditional energy, encourage us to know about and respect history and the world where we live. What’s more, they play an important role in making different society build up connection beyond national areas and time. Luckily, nowadays more and more governments, professional organizations and local community are actively united to protect and strengthen language diversity.
