Unless we all retreat to caves and stick with our own small tribe there will always be a lingua franca. Lingua franca used to be French but is now English and could very well be Mandarin in the future. As long as humans seek out other tribes and peoples for trade, travel or whatever reason there will be a need for a bridge language. Be thankful that there is one bridge language now, English, that lets you learn one language and communicate in most parts of the world without having to learn some bush language on the other side of the next hill.
I work at the University of Alberta, Canada and am a founder of the Canadian Indigenous Languages and Literacy Development Institute (CILLDI). We offer Indigenous languages classes, linguistic courses about Indigenous languages and courses on the teaching and assessment of these languages. We have had about 1,500 summer students over 20 years from all across Canada. We are very proud of the community work our students do as they return home after each summer. This past summer because of Covid we had to move to an online delivery. Kudos to all who have adapted in these times. I look forward to listening to this as I am always looking for resources for my students for them to understand the world context of Indigenous languages.
What a great discussion. I have really enjoyed it. I hope that all the parents endeavor to teach their children their mother languages because this is the only way to save the old endangered languages. BIG LIKE
European say Mather language because to colonize you by you speak different language they say language identity to moke fight between languages so no need more languages 1 language will make unity
You mentioned Bengali as a language, however people are almost unaware that most of the people around western nations who are Bangladesh decendent actually speak a language called Sylheti. Sylheti is a anciant languge thats getting decimated in UK as students are somewhat able to learn Bengali, but never sylheti which they decended from. Sylheti language isn't just a language in oral form but also written form. In these day & age its been so far being crushed in the original country (Bangladesh) as well as from none original countries that even Sylheti speaking people mostly forgot that there is a written form that actually exist. Hence this would likely be a language that would disapear in written form & eventually in oral form. I suppose this is how we in modern days could understand that languages that were in written & oral, now we only know them as oral form. This I feel is a good case of understanding how a language eventually disapears. However Sylheti adults are trying to keep the language they love, poet hasan raja, radha romon's did their work based on sylheti language, we can call it as foundation of there beautiful songs & poems. Even Nobel Loriet Robindronath Tagor praised their works just on some that he heard of but many even Robindranath was unaware of as his work was mainly based on Bengali.
I speak English and Spanish. My step grandchildren are Salvadoran and Korean. My grand daughter knows English and Spanish, when she goes to visit her Korean aunt, they speak Korean, so she knows a few words. I would love for her to know Korean and she wants to learn it as well. She would be trilingual and that would be to her benefit. If kids can learn at least 2 languages, they are ahead of so many people who don’t want to learn any other language other than their native one.
In Hong Kong, Hokkien is a dying dialect. While the newer generation is fine with speaking in Cantonese, the older generations are very upset by this. They've felt like they lost connection with the newer generation. Still. Hokkien is still spoken in a lot of ASEAN countries so I'm guess it's doing fine.
If the parents don´t use their native tongue with their children the language will dissappear. It´s as simple as that. It doesn´t make sense not to teach your children your language and complaining that your language vanishes afterwards. If you know a minority language it´s up to you to transfere it.
By teaching languages to every one even if not from that race should learn the language if interested and specially else mentioned it can be saved in Google translate kind things to make it more sure

ccp is overwritten it, like Mongolia, ccp trying to invade other country
Btw English is international so that whole world can communicate
you just stole my words
@@theloniousm4337 The English language isn't native to most of the world. Spanish and Italian languages made it to the shores first.
@@theloniousm4337 The USA still doesn't have it's own language and it never will.
My aunt taught school in Te Puke, NZ, in the 1940s - 50s. She said it was the children's parents who didn't want them to speak Maori.

You ever think 3 languages is expecting too much?
@@kingkong-gn6oi Imagine what the native Indians went through when a European language like ENGLISH was pushed onto them.

Every nation should protect their language.

Languages that are not written i.e registered in some media like: clay tablets or thousand others, only spoken, are destined to decay naturally
Well In contrast I speak 4 African languages and 3 European ones which is more than enough, but I’m planning on learning mandarin and Hindi &
African languages are dialects unless they are written
Ricardo Ferreira Miranda of course they’re written but not all of them.
"Language is our identity" and this is a much needed discussion.
Indians lost hundreds of languages (forcefully) this is what endanger refers!!
Because indigenous peoples are silenced and slowly pushed to background...
No because the world is pushed to learn English.
@@sinopino2812 pushed by whom or what ?
No it's called evolutions and integration. Some worthless languages will die, who cares?
@Johnny Blaze yes and uyghurs are still in concentration camps...
No, not at all. They don't have a language of registration

English is the language of the business world, if you want to make it on the stock market then you better learn English.
It would be better if everyone spoke the same language in my opinion. But there could be like side languages to learn and secret languages
Jojo Ash I said everyone should speak the same language but there can be side languages like Japanese or English and etc
That sounds AWFUL!
@Jojo Ash yes
@@makeracistsafraidagain it sounds great actually.
Ok lets all speak in german, no? Why? Ok ok, lets speak arabic, no? Ok what language should we speak, master?
Language is a tool for communication
