    I live in Quebec, Canada and here we put laws in place to preserve the use of the French language. And let me tell you it is difficult to do so even if French is a dominant language across the world. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to try and preserve a language that doesn't have a powerful economical backing. I find it so sad.

    Teach your children how to speak your language 🤷‍♀️ encourage them to learn something, if you want your language to carry on then teach it so it can carry on. Saying your language is dying but your people aren't helping you maintain the heritage.

    The English, french and Spanish are the main culprits for this problem.
