Living languages

Even though languages are various, they are changing from country to country, race to race and time to time, they are depending on man’s environment and evolution; they’ll never disappear while man always needs them to express him self, and it couldn’t be only by words because man speaks, sings, cries, dances….
In his progress, man make everything around him progress, starting by his more instinctive habits to the way expressing his needs.
In fact, even the manner he uses to communicate with the world progresses, which causes the birth of new dialects and languages and the death of others.
The language used by man is a reflection of his reality, so nowadays we are observing very remarkable changes in languages imposed by his interests and his sectors of activities. Therefore, it’s the language used in most profitable business which is adopted.
We are assisting to the extinction of certain languages due to their lack of use or the weak profit they can provide.
Over interested by his fame, it’s pitiful to note that man was not able to preserve languages through generations in spite of their diversity and large number. Man is not apt to attach the importance he should to languages which are a gateway to new cultures and knowledge.
In order to establish a contact with strangers, man should speak a language they understand, which sometimes make him forsake his native language looking for new experiences and unknown-cultures exploration.
Seeing the world face to him, he forgets his past, his roots, and his habits and doesn’t hesitate to go straight to satisfy his curiosity and satiate his learning-thirst.
The intercultural-exchange is a mean to develop human being and allow him to concern himself with what is happening around him.
Languages are double-edged-swords; they abolish borders and reconcile people, as well as they can destroy the less sustained cultures.
Indeed, we are seeing many languages disappear because they are unused or because others took their places. By the other side, we perceive that man is not quite conscious with the number of their extinction and the losses they cause; otherwise he would take right arrangements to preserve languages ‘in process of disappearing’ if we can call the phenomenon like this.
In this stage, some questions should be asked:
What shall we do to preserve the future of languages which are still alive?
Is it possible to resuscitate the ones already dead?
