     All over the world, languages are disappearing. So what, you may say, they have been going extinct since humans learned to use them. However, at the rate they are currently disappearing, more than half and maybe as many as ninety percent will be gone by 2100. This is the result of globalization and that is not going to go away. While the pros of globalization definitely outweigh the cons, globalization is causing us to lose languages at an unprecedented rate. A language helps preserve a culture, which means preserving stories, traditions, history, and the worldview unique to their culture. When we lose a language we lose that and a lot more.

Charlotte:

     Each language is unique. How many thousands of words have existed for one simple meaning? When words stop being spoken, an entire history of that word dies along with it. The way words are related or how numbers are set up define how a whole culture of people thinks and lives. All of the languages that no longer exist used to be the sounds of home for many. When a language dies, a culture and bond between people die, too. It’s as if all of the people of that language had died for a second time. A fascinating book called Sum, by a neuroscientist named David Eagleman, tells different tales from different possible afterlives. In one, it describes how things that people were part of had their own lives. Plays, stories, and battles for example, all had an afterlife because they lived and died as people had. Languages, histories, and cultures would fit into this story. “…something larger than themselves, something that had its own life, something they can hardly put a finger on.”(Eagleman)

David:

     When I learned about what is happening to languages in our day and age I had the desire to learn more about languages. It’s sometimes hard to believe how many languages there are in the world today. We care not only for the languages and interesting dialects themselves, but we care for the cultures to which they belong. Language is the key to culture. Without this key, we could lose the things that we and humanity hold dear.

     Language has always been very important to the human race. It is used every day for almost everything we do, and because of this, the thought that we might lose some of this distinctly human treasure is almost frightening! I am taking Latin this year, and it astounds me how each part of speech and every little ending to words fits together to form an intelligible sentence with meaning. It would be such an incredible loss to forget even one of these languages.

Abhiram:

     Survey reports show that presently about 7,000 languages are alive and about half of them will be extinct within this century. Is language death so important? We all are upset if we lose something. Are we losing something when a language dies? If the answer is ‘yes’ then we should take care. It is true that when a language dies we lose a lot of other things. Let us see what else we lose when a language dies.

     Every speaker of a language possesses an identity by virtue of that language in its society. This social identity is lost when that language dies.
And so we do care.

     It is an agreed fact that a language and the culture of its speakers are very closely related. Therefore once a language dies the culture associated with that also dies. And so we do care.

     Linguists from all over the world have agreed about the relationship between knowledge and language. This includes biological, medical, historical, and other information acquired through years speaking a particular language. When that language dies, that entire knowledge is also lost.
And so we do care.

     Language is that strong medium through which its speakers gain intellectual wisdom. Once a language dies we lose this intellectual wisdom of its speakers.
And so we do care.

     Internationally, people now support the necessity of language diversity for the betterment of the humanity. Once a language dies it reduces the language diversity.
And so we do care.

     In conclusion, consider any aspect that relates to humanity; one way or another, we find the influence of language there. This means that when a language dies;

WE ALL DO CARE!
