What happens? en-us 2021-03-10 05:31:38 UTC 2025-12-23 07:28:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293114261 When a language dies, the culture and traditions that go with that language die as well. Precious knowledge and secrets disappear. Languages die due to a lack of people speaking it and keeping it alive. Other languages may be more vital and helpful to speak in daily life and in the workplace. ]]> 2021-03-10 14:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293114261 tromad7116 https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293118289 When a language dies, it goes extinct and people are left to learn a new language.

Languages can die due to other, more popular, languages being used  so that communication is easier among a broader population. The native speakers are no longer able to speak their language and lots of information can be lost about resources, history, and how different cultures view the world]]> 2021-03-10 14:34:52 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293120487 https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293122787 when a language dies, the native speaker's lives are changed. they are no longer able to communicate in a language that was very important to their culture. languages die because the newer generations of people stop learning to speak the language. when people stop learning to speak the language, there is no one left to speak it at all. ]]> 2021-03-10 14:35:14 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293122787 otohay7675 https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293128860 When a language dies, people no longer speak it or pass it down. I think that languages could die because of the growth of other languages. ]]> 2021-03-10 14:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293128860 https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293139550 A language dies when it is no longer spoken or understood. A language dies because new generations don't learn it or when a culture is forced to speak another language. ]]> 2021-03-10 14:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293139550 https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293140926 A language dies when there are only so many or few speakers and there aren't enough people who speak it. When a language is used in everyday life it is heard and learned and passed on from generation to generation. When it is no longer being passed down, the language and the culture that it holds start to fade. ]]> 2021-03-10 14:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293140926 https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293143023 When a language is dying, this just means less and less people are using to speak regularly. However when a language dies it's still spoken but just very rarely. They die because of time ultimately, and the mix people speaking it less and less out of convenience. It's often remembered but forgotten because there's no way to pass it down. ]]> 2021-03-10 14:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293143023 https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293148576 I think it means that their is a low percent of people who speak it or there's no one to speak it, People might stop speaking or teaching it to their kids,  People might lose traditional stories and  notes.

The languages words have changed, or the language itself is dying or no longer used. ]]> 2021-03-10 14:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293202451 https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293280310 when a language dies, I believe that there are still people who know or speak the language but the lost of communication between their mother language and the more commonly known language in their country creates a void between the two groups of people. The dying of a language means that we as humans lose history, culture, and people who end up feeling lost. ]]> 2021-03-10 15:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1293280310 https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1298627341 I think it means that people have either converted or found new interest in another language.]]> 2021-03-11 15:41:03 UTC https://padlet.com/thorntons1/4cv63xzq3h4iv42b/wish/1298627341
