Minor languages
Interesting debate in papers today. Should all minor languages be scrapped, and one of the major languages (English I guess) be compulsory?
On one hand I realize that this'll not happen in my lifetime, but I think we are moving in that direction, since on the other hand languages are there for us in order to communicate. And how do we do that? Through understanding each other of course.
With increasing travel in the world, and with communication skills more sought after than ever, I think it is unavoidable that minor languages will over time disappear. It happens already.
If you want to succeed in today's world, you need to speak multiple languages. Including the ever so important body language :)
