Question

why it is important to keep one,s language alive? what are resons behind extinction of many languages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Language is more than a way to communicate with others. Imbued in it are the customs, traditions, and passions of a certain culture. Through language, histories of a people, a way of life, are passed down in nuanced ways. The identity, the soul, of a group of people resides in the syncopated and unique vocalizations of their native tongue. Sadly, not many people feel that way.

As the son of Latino immigrants to this country, I was raised in a bilingual household. I spoke a Spanglish that was so coherent and grammatically correct that I wasn’t able to speak “normally” until I was about six. Thanks to my parents, I learned both English and Spanish simultaneously, and was able to read and write in both languages fluently at a young age. But once I got to middle school, I started noticing that not all my fellow Latinos were equally capable of navigating both languages.
