You could not be more wrong. The human reliance on language goes to our existential core. Language is how we think about concepts. When the vital tool of language is impaired or lost, we lose the ability to consider or comprehend realities that now lie beyond our awareness. Your comments expose you as an incurious oaf who sets no value on his own humanity.
Pitiful and (since you embrace an impoverished view of humanity) contemptible.
Nonsense. Nowithstanding your platitudes and gibberish. Please tell me how anyone's day to day existance will be affected by this in the slightest.
I’m trying to come to grips with a middleground here. On one hand, I’m fascinated by obscure, obsolete, and defunct languages (Easter Island’s written content is amazing and completely opaque). On the other hand, “supply and demand” has a natural purpose extending to linguistics: if a language/dialect does not facilitate its host speakers enough, it will fade, displaced by more successful linguistics. I hate to say “good riddance”, but at the same time we as a species can’t function well in an instant-worldwide-communication manner (FR a prime example) with tens of thousands of languages competing without many/most falling away. Just something I don’t see much academic consideration of (short of that guy’s outright insults).
