SHOULD MINORITY LANGUAGES BE PRESERVED?
Minority languages are the languages spoken by a group of people sharing common ethnic, racial, or religious backgrounds, especially when the no of people in the group is comparatively small in proportion to a given population. Minority languages are usually given less importance all over the world justifying the fact that, more often than not, everything that is in larger quantity is the mightiest. So, languages spoken by comparatively larger population are given more importance. This is usually the case everywhere. In doing so, however, minority languages haven’t been able to progress, and have almost gone extinct as a result of lack of preservation, promotion and equal status.
