Language over times accumulates immense amounts of geographical, natural, and cultural knowledge that we encode in the names we attached to particular places. We become intimate with our lands and the identity of our places become our own. Both landscape and cultural identity is learned through words that we identify with at early periods. The loss of language can potentially destroy individuality and initiate confusion of how we relate to ourselves and the world and cultures that surround us. Culture's prolong there way of life for significant reasons that do not necessarily need to be domestic to us, or just.
If language dies, we are limited to perspectives, that may open different ideas within us. Language brings order and reference to societies and create a balance of harmony within a particular community. The loss of language, I feel dehumanizes people and there culture. Loss of a language brings ideas of a particular language being disabled, disordered and weighing importance when it is unnecessary. The idea of language's dying is ultimately destructive.
