Regional languages in India are fading out in today's world.

Hi All,

I 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 you 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.

Hello guys.

Yes, According to my point of view, the regional language are fading out nowadays because most of the people of India prefer to speak english at the place of regional language because most of the company want to take his empolyee who can speak international language. Even people of our society judge other people with their talk if someone talk in english it means they have very good knowledge or very educated person if not than he is not educated as much as english speaker nowaday its become a mantality of every man of the community. And this mantality is mosqareding or effecting the regional language .

Thanks !

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.

In my opinion, regional language is also important for our identity but the English language is too important to develop yourself and your country. English is like confidence, if your know the English language that means you are a good choice or first choice for everyone, but at the other point you have to know your regional language too because regional language is your first identity. You are the one who knows by your regional language.

Hi, I am a Sami.

Yes, the regional languages in India are fading out because of no one people interested to talk their own language. If example take tamil is regional language they not interested to talk with tamil if you spoke in tamil, other people think like you don't have more knowledge. If you speak in english they feel like you have more knowlege.

Yes, it's true that a country like India which is known for various regional cultures and languages is adopting western culture including western languages as the youth of the country wants to explore the world, they prefer to have the knowledge of worldwide language rather than regional language and on the other side, there is more scope and opportunities has been given to the people who know English or Hindi than the people who know the only regional language. So, in my opinion, it's the market demand to have the knowledge of international language so that the businesses can grow worldwide.

That is why the parents want their children to adopt or learn the international language to compete in the world.

But, I believe that regional languages represent the diversity of our country so we should also give importance to regional languages so that in future it will not fade away forever from our country.

Yes, that's true, nowadays many of don't want to talk Their regional language, they feel proud talking in English, they are okay with talking at home with it comes to talk with friends they feel shy. Somewhere they thought there standard getting low while talking in their regional language.

India is a secular country. People living in different regions speak different languages. Regional languages are still existing. They haven't faded. People in their house use their regional language only though they use hindi or english language as and when required. But children nowadays mainly focus on learning English. For this, parents are responsible as they think that if their kid learns English, he/she can do well at school and learning that language will be sufficient. So, in this way regional language is fading.

I am not sure if the regional languages are completely fading out. They still are some areas in every region following their cultural heritage and giving their language a recognition it deserves. For example, in AP/Telangana we have the Telugu language but it is not made compulsory at English medium schools. Hence no one is compelled to learn it as it is an optional language for us. So we could learn Sanskrit or French as a second language. It should be made mandatory for it not to fade away at least communication is required it not reading or writing of the regional language.

I think regional language is not faded away in today's world.

In the present time, industry and Organisations want a common language that is English.

Some people know Tamil some people know Gujarati some people know Marathi so there is a barrier in talking with each other so English is a common language to communicate to each other so I think regional language didn't fade away but it takes place in the English language to communicate each other if there is a language barrier.

If you go to a foreign country and if you are speaking in Hindi they don't understand you but if you spoke in English they understand, reason behind is the language barrier so in day to day life the English language much communicating in organisation or any company but because of this I think regional language didn't fade away.
