Some of the comments against preserving languages sadden me, but I have to accept it--that there are big matters of meaning that we are going to disagree on.
I stand firmly with preserving language, and with that culture. I hope to do my part by learning more of my family's culture, and learning the language and culture of someone else (maybe more). From some of the other comments I get a sense of a line of thought where the primary goal is the well-being of the lot of individuals in the world. And its hard to argue against that. Yet, I want there to exist a diversity of peoples, and those things that come with it.
- tasogare 5y agoThose comments probably come from people shouting about "diversity" all day long but who are uneasy at the slightest actual bit of diversity like language or opinion. In my country it's the republic (so the left) that planned and implemented destruction of local languages, which lived for over a millennium without issue under the French crown.
