Vanishing Voices

I'm just going to assume all readers read the article of Vanishing Voices because that's all of the people who follow me.

So i usually argue death of speech can equate to death of culture because if you look at the article it clearly relates speech and cultures of the people and to the world. Now I'm not going to take a stance on a side of pro or con mainly cause I kind of don't really care. Well that's bad phrasing. I see equal good and equal bad on each side and am not strongly polarized to a single side. But i want to point out a few observations for each side.

Pro Language Normalizing:
   The fact that you're reading this proves that language is becoming normalized, or the idea that everyone is gravitating towards bigger more renown languages, for multiple reasons:
-You're reading English.
-You're using a computer.

The first one is rather redundant. But the second one brings up an interesting point. The fact that social media, or on a broader spectrum the internet, exist and bring such a big world so close in just provides the evidence and warrants a claim that this will happen. All language will be boiled down to a few, if not one, major world language at some point in time.  Look at most movies, they're usually only available in German Spanish and french. (don't quote me on that.) We are all forever moving closer into each others lives as people, and the world is getting smaller. People are talking more and more, and the barriers are slowly deteriorating. The only real question is which language will be the worlds primary language and why? (answer below in the comments, I'm basically giving you kids a prompt to more credit.)

Con Language Normalization:
   It's plain and simple and no real explanation. It dehumanizes the human culture. We all view ourselves as a big melting pot of cultures and races. Hell we have stereotypes on them. But death of language is death of culture. And death of that melting pot. Why does that matter?Well it doesn't immediately matter, but other peoples cultures directly affect you. Japanese people's solidarity lead to increased work out put and great technological advantages. Germans are historically amazing at math. Without the middle east, we would not have our worlds major Abrahamic religions. America would not be America if we did not take pieces of all cultures. We are the fusion of all of these. You would not be you if it were not for culture.
