Language Imperialism - Endangered Indigenous Language.

   

 Language is a central element and expression of identity and of key importance in the presence

     of group identity. An indigenous language is a language that originated in a specified place and

     was not brought to that place from elsewhere, spoken by indigenous people in their community

      in their settled area for many generation year after year. Many indigenous language have become

       endangered because of language dealt or linguicide causes by, may be colonization , livelihood,

      lifestyle, or any other force or compulsion - external or internal . A language disappear when its

      speakers disappear or when they shift to speaking another language. Languages are threaten by

      external force such as economical, religious, cultural of more powerful group or by internal force

       such as negative attitude towards its own language.

          It is estimated that if nothing is done, half of 7,000 plus language spoken today will disappear,

       by the end of this century. With the disappearance of unwritten and undocumented languages ,

       humanity would loss not only a cultural wealth but also important ancestral knowledge embedded

      in particular indigenous language.However, this process is neither inevitable  nor irreversible. It is

     well planned and implemented by colonial force in every part of the world.

            Every language reflects a unique world view with its own value systems, philosophy and

       particular cultural system . The extinction of a language results in the irrevocable loss of

       unique  cultural knowledge embodied in it for centuries including historical, spiritual  and

       ecological knowledge that may be essential for the survival not only speakers but also countless

       others.Language are the creations and vectors of traditions. They support cultural identity.

       community's heritage.

          The colonizers and their successor always suppressed indigenous languages , establishing

       their own language for official communications , destroying texts in other native language

       and insisting by force so that indigenous  people learn language of colonizers. The result

       of this transformation , half of the world populations now speaks just 10 languages.

            It's the difference between a botanist having only a few different species to study in a

        flower shop or assessing the amazing diversity of the Amazon rainforest.The most important

       thing that can be done to keep a language from disappearing is to create favorable condition

        for its speaker to speak the language and teach it to their children. this often requires national

       policies that recognize and protect minority languages education system that promote mother

       tongue instruction and creative language writing system. The most important to build up

       attitude of the speaker community towards its own language . It is essential to create a social

      and political environment that encourage multilingualism and respect for minority language so that

      indigenous language can survive from extinction.
