I totally agree with the regional languages in India are fading out in today's world. It is true because any job profile has a condition that the candidate who apply for it should have a good communication skills and must be very fluent in english. But this is true I accept this leads to regional languages like Telugu etc are really fading out. Parents want there children to speak English very fluently this shows that right from there childhood parents join them to very high corporate schools, they themselves speak with them in English. But this leads to the eradication of there mother tongue of the children.

Good morning everyone.

Today's topic is regional languages in India are fading out in today's world.

I think regional languages are not fading out the today's world. Because every country has a different language. So that why regional language is faded out any language. But the problem is that in a country everywhere people speak multiple languages. So the language barrier is arisen who to communicate with them. That why we use international common language English.

In today's era, people have must require fluent English because the after Hindi English is the common language of our country. For example, Kerala people speak in Kannada and they don't easily understand Hindi in comprise with English. So people use common language to communicate them.

So, at last, regional language are not faded out.

We can't exactly say that local languages are fading. Yes, it is mandatory for many students, professionals to know English to interact with their colleagues in their work place as they can't speak one others language, but it doesnt mean that they forgot their own language. To survive in this Global competitive era, we must be familiar with english as it is a medium of communication with many higher people especially foreigners.

Hi All,

Am Bhanu and I am proud of my mother tongue or my state's regional language Odia.

It depends upon those community of people whether their regional language is going to fade or not. Isn't it? Respect and follow your own culture will won't let your language to fade. However People of ancient India was respecting their culture and ancestors, Sanskrit extinct and a lot of languages came to the picture.

Papua New Guinea is a country having around 800 languages. They follow one language called "Pidgin" invented by them as English is more difficult to understand and speak for them. Not only the country wants to communicate or civilized like other country but also suffering to keep their umpteen tribal cultures. So It is a human being's nature. They want to be developed and civilized.

So do not get worried about the extinction of any languages whether it is ancient or modern. In fact, A language could not be completely extinct. It will replicate or convert to any other language like how Sanskrit is today. So finally the whole world is trying to communicate in one common language which was not possible before 200 years ago. It is a time to be relished that all people can communicate with each other. We do not want any language barriers to come in between humanity.

In urban and semi-urban area people are mostly using English language because of the environment we human beings are very flexible we can speak any language so it doesn't mean that we forget our regional language and we have to know that in which situation which language have to use I don't think so regional language is fading out. We can say that we are using the more English language.

English is just a language through which we communicate and regional language is a language and it has the power to create a bonding between same region people.

Yes, I agree to this topic. Most of the people especially millennium, think ashamed of speaking their regional language in front of others. They think English is the only language through which we can get status and fame. Even foreigners also speak in their regional language, then why can't we Indians speak proudly. English is just a language like all other languages. But English is necessary for corporate world to communicate with other country. Most of the people know English language, therefore we should know English language also but should not feel ashamed in speaking our regional language, through which our emotions are attached.

Thank you!

Well this is not true. We can't say that the regional languages in India are fading out in today's world. It depends upon the region we live in and people we interact with. In the job field, education field and diiferent types of field we interact with different types of people from different corners of the world. So, everybody is not able to understand every language. Therefore mostly english is considered as the standard language and people got habituated with it. But when it comes to interact with the people of same region, we just follow our regional language.

India is the land of different languages and regions and we Indians know, respect it and very proud of it.

Thank you.

Good Evening Friends,

According to me, Of Course, the regional languages are fading in today's world. Because we are in technological world. So we are talking in official languages. So regional languages are fading in India. Because only we are speaking with family and friends in regional languages. So other times we are speaking English language. So, the regional languages are fading in today's world.
