I never really get why you need to preserve naturally dying language no matter what.
Can anyone explain in simple words — if something abstract is dying naturally (not by force or someones bad intentions etc.), why we need to waste resorces and energy to saving it?
Don't we people have higher priority issues right now?
Language is a connection to your ancestors, it is a time machine to their world, to speak and think like they did, and without the toil of your ancestors you wouldn’t be here, and by preserving it and passing it on to future generation we all still exist even after we die.
