ENDANGERED INDIGENOUS LANGUAGE



 Language is a key element and expression of identity and  in the presence of group identity. An indigenous language is a language that originated in a specified place and was not brought to that place from elsewhere, spoken by indigenous people in their communityin their settled area for many generation year after year. Many indigenous language have becomeendangered because of language dealt or linguicide causes by, may be colonization , livelihood,  lifestyle, or any other force or compulsion - external or internal . A language disappear when its speakers disappear or when they shift to speaking another language. Languages are threaten by external force such as economical, religious, cultural of more powerful group or by internal force  such as negative attitude towards its own language.

 


 


          It is estimated that if nothing is done, half of 7,000 plus language spoken today will disappear, by the end of this century. With the disappearance of unwritten and undocumented languages , humanity would loss not only a cultural wealth but also important ancestral knowledge embedded  in particular indigenoulanguage.However, this process is neither inevitable  nor irreversible. It is   well planned and implemented by colonial force in every part of the world. Every language reflects a unique world view with its own value systems, philosophy and  particular cultural system . The extinction of a language results in the irrevocable loss of unique  cultural knowledge embodied in it for centuries including historical, spiritual  and  ecological knowledge that may be essential for the survival not only speakers but also countless  others.Language are the creations and vectors of traditions. They support cultural identity. community's heritage. The colonizers and their successor always suppressed indigenous languages , establishing  their own language for official communications , destroying texts in other native language and insisting by force so that indigenous  people learn language of colonizers. The result  of this transformation , half of the world populations now speaks just 10 languages.


 


        It's the difference between a botanist having only a few different species to study in  flower shop or assessing the amazing diversity of the Amazon rainforest.The most important thing that can be done to keep a language from disappearing is to create favorable condition  for its speaker to speak the language and teach it to their children. this often requires national policies that recognize and protect minority languages education system that promote mother tongue instruction and creative language writing system. The most important to build up  attitude of the speaker community towards its own language . It is essential to create a social and political environment that encourage multilingualism and respect for minority language so than  indigenous language can survive from extinction.
