13Many of the worlds lesser-known languages are being lost as fewer and fewer people speak them. The governments of countries in which these languages are spoken should act to prevent such languages from becoming extinct. 部分同意 1、需要保护，语言是重要文化遗产，distinctive culture heritage individual identity; extinction of language results in diminished sense of prid e, dignity and self-worth continental Europe, many people cling tenaciously to their language French Cadanians insist on French as their official language, to preserve the distinct culture heritage 2 、随着全球化发展，英语成为主导，拉近各国、各族之间的距离，这样保护少数语言就有阻碍作用了 language homogenization shorten the distance between ,bring...

In the remote mountainous areas of China can we find the Kejia villages with Kejia villagers whose language Kejia dialect is. With the complicated structures and the confused pronunciations, the in trinsic function of Kejia dialect can not be fulfilled in modern society for it will take a lot of time for outsiders to understand, let along use it to communicate with Kejia people . With fewer and fewer people using it, this dialect is on the brink of extinction now. When it comes to whether govern ment should act to preserve it, several questions should be answered in advance: Is it an advanced language tool or it has already been outdated? How much value can we obtain from the language? Does it promote or block the cultural development? |
