I'll begin by saying I disagree with the idea. It might or might not be
true that life will be actually easier when few languages exist. Plus,
even if it is the case, it doesn't mean we should not be concerned with
the extinction of languages.
First of all, let us take a look at what life
would be like if there were only a handful of languages left in the
world. It is true that in such a case, it might be easier for someone
who knows one of the remaining languages to travel around and
communicate with others, given that more people will share one
particular languages, but it can also pose challenges to communities
where the language has been recently adopted. As we all know,
language is the medium for most of the history in a particular
geographical region. Once the language that was used to document
life and events in the past is no longer spoken, it becomes
considerably more difficult to preserve and spark interest in the local
history which can prove invalueble understanding current issues. It is
therefore hard to come to a conclusion that removal of languages will
only render life easier.
Moreover, the issue of languages dying out
goes deeper than losing the ability to understand the past, it touches
some core beliefs in modern societies such as diversity and
autonomies. Evidently, language is largely responsible for the
cultivation of a uniform yet distinct identity shared by the members of
a community. It is the foundation of most nation states and within
nation states political divisions. The extintion of languages will likely
result in a struggle of locating onself in this world for those who have
recently adopted a language that was foreign to the land. Besides, the
diversity in customs and ideas of originally heterogenous groups will
inevitably subside, thereby turning a society into a homogenous one.
As a result, it might actually be easier to rule such a society with
unifying agendas and policies, hence less automies locally. However,
after all those years of modern democracy, is this what we want in the
end though? A homogenous, integrated world that share the same
voices and concerns? I have my reservation for it. It borders the idea
of a brave new world depicted in some of the distopian novels.
To conclude, the prospect of the extinction of languages is not a
particularly thrilling one since one does not necessarily live an easy life
when that coms true and it can bear scary dystopian sounding
consequences.
