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.
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, prehistory and psychology lose some diversity in data sources.
Languages have been existing, and evolving together with the development and changes in human society.
Languages are means of improving their lives in terms of political, social, cultural, and economic aspects. Language is obviously an indispensable tool of human beings.
A language is not only a vehicle for the expression of thoughts, perceptions, sentiments, and values characteristic of a community; it also represents a fundamental expression of social identity.
All the ones who loved them spoke the language to them when they were children. All the endearments, all the nurturing, that is kinship, is tied into a living organism of a community by people who know each other, and they know they belong together. We are tied to each other through the language. That precious sense of community is not a thing to lose.
In short, language retention helps maintain feelings of cultural kinship. Actually, while using the language to gain good education, and knowledge to get good jobs for better lives, the speakers expose their social identities.
As we knew, the language we speak is part of who we are. It gives us a powerful sense of belonging with those who speak like us, and an equally powerful sense of difference from those who don't. When someone attacks our language or even just our accent we feel that we are being attacked. And we respond accordingly. Discriminate against a language, meaning you discriminate against its speakers; disrespect my language, meaning you disrespect me .
Language is a central element and expression of identity and of key importance in the preservation of group identity.Language is particularly important to linguistic minority communities seeking to maintain their distinct group and cultural identity, sometimes under conditions of marginalization, exclusion and discrimination.A language is a major aspect of the culture that speaks that language. When the language dies, a major part of the culture dies. By preserving languages, we preserve the cultures of those who speak them.
I think it's important to keep languages alive in some form for future generations to fully understand their native cultures
