On the one hand, as the saying goes where there is a different language, there is aunique culture. Each language is a mirror of the culture of a certain geographical region, for the origin, growth and distinction of each language is accompanied by the beginning, thriving, changing, ebb and flow of a culture. To some patriots, the extinction of a language may equal the diminished sense of dignity and pride. Therefore, maintaining of the variety of languages is important and necessary in the present day. As we all know that the people of continental Europe cling tenaciously to their threatened languages. The French government even assembles many academic authorities to obliterate borrowed words in order to resist the language assimilation and keep the purity of their own language.
Whats more, different culture has its distinctive traditions, rituals, morals, beliefs, which needs their own language to embody their characteristic. The Eskimo, for an instance, has more than twenty words to describe the color white. If one has the basic knowledge of Eskimo, one will not be surprised by this fact that the Eskimo is really a people of ice and snow. If the language disappeared, we may fail to find any proper substitute.
One the other hand, as an expression tool, language serves mainly for the convenience of communication. Lesser-known languages, on the contrary, will inevitably leads to language barriers. In todays high-tech world of satellite communications, global mobility, and especially the Internet, language barriers serve primarily to impede cross-cultural communication, which in turn impedes international exchange. India, famous for its software programs, dominates a great share of the production of this field. A significant element to their success is their official language. Though it is not their native language, it is the universal language and the language of programming. By contrast, most tribes of aborigines who confine themselves to their lesser-known languages suffer from depressed plagues--such as hunger, homelessness, disease, ignorance, poverty, and poor education. Since the drawbacks of language barriers in daily life outweigh the importance of a dying language, and the appeals to nationwide spoken may cause a great deal of time,energy, human resources, the government should handle it rationally and properly.
