Spoken like a typical American. The languages don't have to die out. They DO have to take second place to English in this nation.
I speak 3 languages and I am a 6th generation Texan. Are you going to be stupid enough to suggest that I have to forget two of them????
Sorry Centurion2000.
People who don’t speak English cannot prosper economically in the USA and eventually become a burden on the rest of us. As for heritage and language abilities. Speaking an obscure dialect or language is nice but not necessary to the development of our country.
I speak 2 languages fluently and my family line landed in the Jamestown Colony in 1607. I don’t know how many generations that would be, but it’s a few.
Nobody is telling you to forget your language talents. It’s just that obscure regional dialects die out. The worst thing in our country is the promoting of diversity. It is a liberal concept that divides people and makes them dependent upon government.
