Minority languages are languages spoken by a smaller number of people within a larger community or country. These languages often face challenges, such as limited resources for education and media, which can lead to their decline. Examples of minority languages include Welsh in Wales and Basque in Spain and France. Preserving minority languages is important for maintaining cultural diversity and heritage. When a language fades, unique traditions and knowledge can be lost. Efforts to support these languages include teaching them in schools and promoting their use in local communities and media, helping to keep them alive for future generations.
