Essay 1 :What is lost if an endangered language dies ?

Introduction :

Angela Carter said: “Language is power, life and the instrument of culture, the instrument of domination and liberation.’’

Each language has its values and cultural characteristics, reflecting unique perspectives on the world. Losing language can also mean losing an important way to understand its history, culture, and even the local environment.

As languages develop, others are less and less spoken. Each language represents a heritage that must be preserved.
