While some consider language loss as a fact of life, I believe that every effort should be made in order to save them as it is a source of history and culture.]]> 2021-04-19 19:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/diamond121289/d8cg842rpde95exw/wish/1434840283 https://padlet.com/diamond121289/d8cg842rpde95exw/wish/1436438271 There is an ongoing debate whether governments should spend the tax payers’ money on saving dying languages. Personally, I stand with those who believe that public finances could be more useful elsewhere, as opposed to those who think saving native cultures (and, by extension, their languages) should be funded by the authorities. ]]> 2021-04-20 06:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/diamond121289/d8cg842rpde95exw/wish/1436438271 There is an appreciable amount of languages that are likely to go extinct because of the lack of speakers. While some people opt for the government to sponsor language saving programs, others would rather let these tongues die peacefully. On the one hand language is an important part of the culture, but on the other hand everything old gives in inevitably, paving the path for the progress. https://padlet.com/diamond121289/d8cg842rpde95exw/wish/1443280350 2021-04-21 16:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/diamond121289/d8cg842rpde95exw/wish/1443280350 Introduction https://padlet.com/diamond121289/d8cg842rpde95exw/wish/1443872201 There are a huge number of languages in the world that are on the verge of extinction. But, are they really that important for the future of humanity? This question has divided people: on those who think that we should spend taxes on trying to save these languages and on those who think that it will be a simple waste of money. I believe that extinction is a natural phase in the life of any language and that there is no point in maintaining its life.]]> 2021-04-21 17:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/diamond121289/d8cg842rpde95exw/wish/1443872201
