Is preserving languages a good thing?

RE: Is preserving languages a good thing?
(January 2, 2020 at 5:11 pm)no one Wrote: Extinction, in all of its forms, is immune to any human endeavor. Language is an evolving entity. The English spoken in America today, is not quite the same language as it was 50 years ago, nor is that version the same as it was 50 years prior to that. The more humans intermingle, the more cultures fuse, the more homogenized communication between them becomes. More than likely, there isn't anyone alive today who will live long enough to witness the Spanglishization of all human communication, but that day may be on the horizon.

Yep. There was no word for "selfie" 50 years ago. Most people today say, "I am going to talk a walk" and not "I am going to take a constitutional."

Why should I worry about what language is going to be like 100 years from now after I am dead? The only thing I am concerned about after I die, isn't that times change, because they always do, but humanity always keeps history in mind to learn from so that we don't repeat the horrors of the past.

This also is why I hate asshole bigots who say stupid shit like, "Jews will not replace us." No  humans live forever, and all of use get replaced by future generations, and we have always migrated too.
