Death of a language

To be honest I don’t think we should be spending that much time worrying if a language dies or survive. Language is a living breathing entity, and over time it evolves. If a language dies there will be other dialects/ languages that will stem from it. And if a language dies and takes form into a more common mainstream language that mean the language barrier is crumbling due to globalization. Forms of communication will extend to the far reaches of the Earth and I can see people benefiting from it.

I think what we lose in the loss of a language is the diversity in the human race. Language disappears and some could say a cultural is lost or at lease a part of it is lost.
