Every year several languages die out. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? These days the death process of languages are is accelerated by some factors like globalization and every years some languages become extinct forever. However, some people not only do play down this disaster but also believe that the world would be a better place with a single language. This essay tries to convince these people that the easiest ways are not necessarily the safest ones. Primarily, the extinction of a language has significant effects on that/a community's culture and traditions. The culture and language have a strong correlation and by losing a language, people will virtually lose some aspects of their culture and traditions like songs, myths and poetries that are not easily transferred to other languages. These traditions are considered the common heritage of humanity that have been accumulated during thousands of years just like ancient temples, and who would wish to ruin them to build a highway? Second, when we talk about languages, we indeed refer to the diversity, which is an the engine of creativity and innovation and causes competition between people and nations. Although it seems that by eradicating other languages and dominanceting of only one language, people would be comfortable in communication, this similarity may have significant impacts on human development. When people speak in one language, actually they will have the same way of thinking to think and thereby having the same culture and behaviour which this trend gradually causes similarity in giving new ideas. In conclusion, although it seems that the most straightforward means for making connection between people is replacing one several languages with oneothers, in fact, the most convenient methods are usually the most risky ones and in this case, we should seek other ways, otherwise like many animals, the extinction of languages and consequently cultures seems inevitable.
