Language preservation is the effort to protect and maintain languages that are at risk of disappearing. Many languages, especially those spoken by small communities, face threats from globalization and cultural assimilation. When a language fades away, it often takes with it unique cultural knowledge, traditions, and identities.
To preserve a language, communities may document it through writing, create educational programs, or promote its use in daily life. Organizations like UNESCO work to raise awareness about endangered languages and support revitalization efforts. By valuing and nurturing these languages, we can help keep diverse cultures alive for future generations.
