I totally disagree with this point, I think it is inherently violent and I think you also contradict yourself. Let me explain: - You are saying that you'd prefer if there were fewer languages, in order to be able to exchange ideas with people. - On the other hand, in another comment you say that there's not much perspective that one can gain from a speaker of Bo. I can think of only two ways in which I can interpret your point (the fewer languages the better): 1) if the speaker of Bo would learn English, she would suddenly possess insights that you will consider worthy to listen to. 2) if the speaker of Bo just wouldn't exist, there would be more resources available for speakers on English, who would be able to exchange ideas that you consider worthy to listen to. The first is absurd, as you are also implying that language is just the tool that transmits the idea. If it weren't so, and there would be an intrinsic value in languages, you would have to advocate diversity, which you aren't. So I imagine your point reduces to case 2) which is why I consider it violent and tasteless. Correct me if I missed some other interpretation.
