As more and more languages become extinct every year– an estimated 20 languages per year – the question of a universal language becomes inevitable. Will the world someday speak one common language? Many experts believe that we are headed toward a world in which everyone will speak the same language especially since globalization is making communication between even the most far-flung communities possible. Perhaps everyone would learn this language in addition to their native tongues.

When we posed this to many other linguistic experts, their responses ranged from “highly unlikely” to “not in a million years.” They claim that the diversity of languages will never fully disappear. They make the argument that language is not just for communicating, but it is also strongly tied to one`s sense of identity. By speaking a language, you establish that you are a member of a group, and by speaking the language of that group, you also communicate that history, culture, and values.

Despite the fact that globalization has narrowed down a variety of languages significantly, it has also renewed interest in native languages as well.  With the Internet and advanced technology, scientists have been able to restore and protect many native languages. For example, Daryl Baldwin was able to use the Internet to teach himself the language of his ancestral tribe, the Miami of Oklahoma, even though there were no Miami speakers left. He in turn homeschooled his children in Miami and now directs a Miami language and cultural institute.

No one is absolutely positive about what will happen in the future. What is for certain is that we need to strive to preserve and appreciate this wonderfully rich and diverse world while there are still speakers of dying languages. Whether we continue on the path toward language unification or language diversity, cultural diversity. should be and will be a part of our global society for many years to come.
