choose your words carefully.

First of all I was shocked to read the number of languages circulating round the world today, and the danger so many are in. I think that down sizing in languages to an extent would be healthy for the world. It has the possibility to bring cultures closer together and become a learning experience.  As some languages die, I feel like others are becoming more advanced.  The English language is spoken in many different forms.  Americans use similar words for very different meanings.  

I do think it is important we have documentation for all the languages that have been developed. As well as do our best to preserve the cultures we can.  Knowing as much as we can about other cultures will continue to define what being a individual in this universe entails.
