This conversation highlights the importance of cultural roots within our diverse social space.
Like with each passing generations, one in a few people don't know how to speak or hear their own native dialect.
Death of one's language is one of the worst thing that can happen to their culture
Yeah. It's so sad as it happens alot
learning new language isnt a bad thing..but forgetting ur own mother tongue will eventually be the reason of death of that culture
We have lose some traditions too
yeaa
Well, English is being used alot even by the parents so they also can't pass it down
Like me for example. I can speak Nd hear my native dialect
But I don't know if I will be able to pass it down
Probably leave my kids at my mom's place in a while so they would learn 
yea tho english is really imprtant to learn nowadays but its parents responsibity to ensure their children can speak and write their language...
No but it's inevitable
For some at least
Unless ppl try and preserve it
i think it moslty happen when a generation think that the other language is superior to theirs..so they dont try to learn it
They do teach teach it in schools though. But still not as good as when you hear bf speak it at home
yess
Exactly, also debating if smth can even be considered a language and looking down on their own native tongue
yeaa
It's kinda of a simple trade
Diversity for unity
Like for my country. We have over 250+ languages
Could be connected to an inferiority complex too
And two common ones
exactly its the main factor
Not really, I only see it as a means to be able to communicate with other people who speak a different language
i mean thats u but most people would see it as a waste of time
Why would never one think of their own language as less
Could be but many ppl even just straight out state it and have an inferiority complex
especially if u live in a multicultural country
people do think that
That's sad
They often do, also might not even consider it as an actual language
sometimes its external factors too
Yh in those types, usually just the main national language prevails over all the native ones
like govt of a country trying to force a language on its citizens
Yh that was actually done to Bangladesh before it gained independence, it's war was largely based on language
Oh. I haven't met someone like that though
I've seen it too often, some ppl have said it to my face what they think of their own
yess exactly..pakistan tried to force URDU on them even though they have no relation to urdu..BANGLA is their native language
and lead to creation of bangladesh
Yep, besides they were too far away so it wouldn't have worked anyways
And you couldn't try to convince them otherwise?
yea and most of the leadership belonged from west pakistan..thats why they didnt care bout development of bangladesh much
I did read into it, technically urdu can't be connected to any one group since they all have their own indigenous languages
Literature of that language plays a really important think in that..
It's hard to change the minds of those with mentality they kept over decades
Oh
It depends
The population of people speaking the language is large
