Saving The Eyak Language

Arguments for Single Language:

-A slight decrease in misunderstandings of languages
-no tax money would have to go towards ESL courses and programs
-a vast amount of ink can be saved seeing as french and spanish directions would not have to be printed on shampoo bottles.
-Ideas that were once isolated from most other countries are not relatively available.

Arguments against a single language:

-Forcing people to do stuff never usually works out
-mass opposition
-MASS DEATH OF CULTURE AND INDIVIDUALITY
-can't remove dialects
-there will always be misunderstandings due to the fact that colloquial language is subjective to geography, which is how different languages evolved in the first place.

b.) A dying language can not be saved by purely teaching it to children. The people of a culture have to want to save the language. Saving languages is quite an expensive process. Dying languages can be preserved, (e.g. Latin) but without people actively speaking the language, it can never be rebuilt to its former glory of a full language.
c.) The "International Mother Language Day" seems rather counter-productive to the IB's goal of exposing students to the world around them. It can be assumed that students speak their mother tongues at home and in the majority of their schooling, so a special day needed to enforce that has little to any purpose.
