Diversity of language

Valuing diversity of language

According to 'http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alissa-stern/valuing-languages_b_7002682.html' language diversity brings many benefits such as 'each tongue contains a wealth of knowledge' which means that loosing a language would be the same as loosing knowledge from its history. Language diversity also allows us to look into how other people view the world.

In the article 'http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/article209405.ece' it says that multi-ethnic groups are allowed to speak the dialect at any time apart from essays and debates which shows that the dialect is being valued and they allow diversification.

De- valuing diversity of language

In some countries in the past, for instance America, the government and other societies didn't like the diversity of language within the country. Therefore they wanted to eradicate this issue. Even nowadays, in some institutions, people feel pressured to speak one language instead of their native, because they're the minority in the society.

According to 'http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/article209405.ece' everyone speaks the same dialect due to the peer pressure that they're under.
