Regional language plays a major role in making India unique when you go to Mumbai they used to speak in other ways as compared to up so it seem to be completely different from each other. When you go to south side cities like Chennai, Mysore, and Bangalore they used to speak in Tamil or Telugu. So if you are across India there are various types of languages. When you complete your studies and get a job in any organization or field it requires a professional way to interact and if you get settled in cities like Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore you don't want to speak in regional languages to friends/colleagues/neighbor to make them comfortable and look decent to them. So that's the reason why regional languages are fading these days. We shouldn't forget our roots and try to keep interacting in the regional languages with friends at least.

Regional languages fading out from India because of generally we use regional languages in our area only and now people leave their ancestor's places and going to the city, or abroad for studies and jobs and that requires good communication in their language like English, Hindi, etc. So we are forgetting our roots. Regional languages are our pride and our mother language where we grew up and learned this language but now everyone is educated so they feel embarrassed in front of others to use our regional language but we should not forget our roots.

Hello guys,

Yes, I agree with this content 'Regional languages in India are out in today's world ' because we give more importance to the English language. There is an important thing why we giving that means.

Nowadays people not living in one place to work or for education. They started migrating from one place to another place for their purpose. If they want to get any need he converse in his regional language. People can't able to understand if we have any universal language like English then we can able to converse properly. Learning English is the right thing but it should judge people.

That's my point of view.

So as we all know in today era our regional language fading day by day we give the preference to the western culture. Like the English language in India childern learn English language first instead of regional because the mind set of Indian people is if he or she speak well English than he or she is well educated they will be successful.

That is the reason of fading regional language over other language.

Hi I am Akash,

Yes, reginal languages in India are fading out due to everyone giving preference to western culture and tradition. We are not give important to regional language as like to English language. We are turning to teach our child English first to understand rather than regional languages. This would be reducing our love towards regional languages.

Hello everyone,

Regional languages in India are fading out because of our mindset and lack of quality and interest in these languages. We don't give much importance to our languages. These are choices, people make in their daily life or mostly:

1. We prefer English schools over regional medium schools.

2. We prefer Hollywood, Korean, and German movies over Indian Cinema.

3. In every organisation's post, English is compulsory. If you don't know English then go for the position of labour.

4. India needs an common language (which every person needs to interact with other parts of our country). That language is one and only English.

There are many more such examples. If we talk about why we are choosing or doing this then the answer will be quality.

English Schools are way more well maintained and have better quality than other regional schools. Our Indian Cinema produces good quality movies very rare. Those who don't know English watches the dubbed foreign movies but still prefer to watch foreign over Indian. Most entrepreneurs rise from well-educated families or well-developed areas and if that entrepreneur comes from under developed family or a lower-middle-class family then they have to adopt English to compete in the market.

If we observe then it kind of becomes a vicious cycle.

Thanks,

India is a country of diversity, so no wonder we have got lots of Regional languages, like Bengali, Gujarati, Malyalam etc.

Since we were a British colony in past, so every part of India is influenced by English and with globalisation more and more people prefer to speak in English as it is also required in professional life and everything on internet is primarily in English. So people are shifting more and more towards English instead of their own Regional language.

However, I strongly believe most people prefer to speak in their regional language at home.

Indian govt start providing new language learning facilities and languages like (English, German, French) due to which they are stopping funds for the regional schools instead which they think off that it will help in development but instead of introducing new well affiliated schools which are providing languages like German, French govt could go for investing funds in regional schools which could overwhelm students to depicted and dedicated towards their culture and also India could develop with this also.

I am not familiar with Indian culture, so I am not sure what languages do Indians speak. As far as I know, dialects are spoken by ethnic minorities and the older generation. However, due to globalization, children nowadays are deprived of their chance to learn native languages since English as an international language is attached significant importance in schools. This means that students lack opportunities to communicate with native language speakers. Therefore, I think that the traditional dialects may fall into disuse in the new future because the younger generation can no longer understand them.

India is a country of regional languages but facing current situation there is a great need of knowing English as it is used over worldwide since, every countries has it's own regional language so English is becoming common language for communication as there is requirement of common language for business and building all connections or abroad studies. But also regional languages should be known it depicts our belonging and there is no shame in knowing two or three languages.
