Yes, I think it is important to preserve

languages. Language play an important role in

the development of the society. Language
helps people to communicate and express
their feelings. It also helps to preserve the
culture heritage and traditions and to maintain
our historical background.Language also unite
people to each other. They also represents the
identity for an ethnicity. Language is an important
part of any society, because it enables people to
communicate and express themselves. When a language
dies out, future generations lose a vital part of
the culture that is necessary to completely understand it.
This makes language a vulnerable aspect of cultural
heritage, and it becomes especially important to preserve
it. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific,
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),from facts published
in their "Atlas of Languages in Danger of Disappearing,"
there are an estimated 7,000 languages spoken worldwide
today, and half of the world’s population speaks the eight
most common.[1]
More than 3,000 languages are reportedly spoken by fewer
than 10,000 people each. Ethnologue, a reference work
published by SIL International, has cataloged the world’s
known living languages, and it estimates that 417
languages are on the verge of extinction.[2] Language
protection is protection of cultural heritage, as Karl von
Habsburg, President of Blue Shield International, states.
"Today, on average, we lose one language in the world
every six weeks. There are approximately 6800 languages.
But four percent of the population speaks 96 percent of the
languages, and 96 percent of the population speaks four
percent of the languages. These four percent are spoken
by large language groups and are therefore not at risk. But
96 percent of the languages we know are more or less at
risk. You have to treat them like extinct species. When a
language dies, the knowledge of and ability to
understand the culture who spoke it is
threatened because the teachings,
customs, oral traditions and other inherited
knowledge are no longer transmitted among
native speakers. As each language
dies, science in linguistics, anthropology, prehi
story and psychology lose some diversity in
data sources. There are different ways
topreserve a language. The internet can be
used to raise awareness about the issues of
language extinction and language
preservation. It can be used to translate,
catalog, store, and provide information and
access to languages. New technologies such
as podcasts can be used to preserve the
spoken versions of languages, and written
documents can preserve information about the
native literature and linguistics of languages.
