It is true that some minority languages may disappear in the near future. Although it can
be argued that governments could save money by allowing this to happen, I believe that
these languages should be protected and preserved.
There are several reasons why saving minority languages could be seen as a waste of
money. Firstly, if a language is only spoken by a small number of people, expensive
education programmes will be needed to make sure that more people learn it, and the
state will have to pay for facilities, teachers and marketing. This money might be better
spent on other public services. Secondly, it would be much cheaper and more efficient for
countries to have just one language. Governments could cut all kinds of costs related to
communicating with each minority group.
Despite the above arguments, l believe that governments should try to preserve languages
that are less widely spoken. A language is much more than simply a means of
communication; it has a vital connection with the cultural identity of the people who
speak it. If a language disappears, a whole way of life will disappear with it, and we
will lose the rich cultural diversity that makes societies more interesting. By spending
money to protect minority languages, governments can also preserve traditions, customs
and behaviours that are part of a country's history.
In conclusion, it may save money in the short term if we allow minority languages to
disappear, but in the long term this would have an extremely negative impact on our
cultural heritage.
