language at stake

Language is the closest relative any human being could possibly have. Nobody can pass a day without saying a word or hearing a word. Even little babies have their own language no matter how funny it sounds.
So far linguists have found out that are having more than 60000 languages throughout the world.Does not it feel amazing to hear that? How many languages can we think of? Maybe there are several hundred.
We are really lucky in terms of having our own language to talk to someone when we have a bad or good day. But many people were not lucky enough. Their language just lost. About 2,000 languages now have less than 1,000 speakers. In no time they will be lost too.
Languages are lost mostly because of colonization. Some are lost because of not having any written form. In some language speakers wants to adopt a new language in order to communicate other than their own language.
I think Hindi and English are killer languages for Bengali speaker. Now a days, Bengali people watch a lot of Hindi drama and movie and try to plug some word in our language. As a result, we are losing our own words. It is just an outcome of globalization. Satellite, newspaper, and internet are teaching them English. For them, speaking English is very prestigious. The more they speak in English, the more they are smart. I think, now in Bangladesh there is no single college going student who can speak a whole sentence in Bengal without using any English word. So, I don’t see any hope for Bengali language. If this situation goes on, someday we might see Bengali alphabet in the museum. It would be really shameful if we lose it after so many sacrifices. We are the only nation in the world who fought for their mother tongue instead of just watching while other people were taking over our language.
