As time went by, numerous old languages had disappeared owing to forgetting has been claimed that it is an inevitable process for languages to disappear, thus it is meaningless to promote measures to preserve languages. I do not agree with this claim and I will present my reasons in this essay.

First of all, the basis of today's language originates from the ancient language for people's protection. Every word that we use has change many times. When we use the words, we can find that there is a great deal of similarities compared to those in the past. If nobody protects or spreads our language, it is totally impossible for us to speak and write at present. When we have no language, it it would cause huge problems like communication and trade.

Besides, when we try to stop languages to die out, we protect our civilization too. It's believed that the most valuable treasure for human is our civilization because civilization shows the history and intelligence for human. As language is a majority part of civilization, languages demonstrate the wisdom of our ancestors for creating a universal tool for people to express their emotions and feelings. Texts from different periods can show different customers in different times. As an example, texts in Song Dynasty are so complex but fabulous because people in Song Dynasty had a great interested in the beauty of shape.

A group of people claim it is meaningless to prevent some languages from disappearing as the disappearance is inevitable. This trend of conforming to several dominant languages can indeed bring about many benefits but I still believe that measures of language protection should be taken.

Learning and speaking the same language is so beneficial that people are willing to give up their local dialects and conform to a universal language, which is a trend hard to reverse. One illustration would be that people in China are encouraged to learn one official language, Mandarin, no matter what dialect they speak at home. Some local tongues are thus gradually forgotten and fewer and fewer locals make efforts to learn them. Likewise, as a globally used language, English is the prerequisite of the development of globalization since it allows people from different nations to communicate smoothly. However, this inevitable trend does not make protecting languages unnecessary or meaningless.

There are several reasons why all languages are worth protection. Firstly, various languages represent different cultures and civilizations. It is said that the greatest innovation in the history of humankind is language, as it demonstrates the wisdom of our ancestors and symbolizes the beginning of civilization. Secondly, speaking the same dialect offers people with a sense of belonging and geniality. For example, when a person travels to a new place and is surrounded by strangers and unfamiliar languages, their feeling of isolation may disappear in the time of hearing someone talking in their mother tongue. It suddenly builds a close connection between them as speaking the same language means they grown up at the same place.

It appears inevitable that the variety of languages is decreasing since it is beneficial for everyone to learn a universal language. However, other languages are still too significant to be forgotten.
