Of course this depends, if there is only one or two speakers and the language is virtually useless, it should be recorded for others to learn but it doesn't mean we should preserve it.

Brazil. Don't worry.

Yeah Brazil is a great pillar to spread the portuguese language, despite the different accents and grammatical divergences. It's kinda like the british English V american one, the USA helps spreading the English language. You from Brazil?
