You lose culture, traditions when you lose your language – Father Wallece
This means every language is closely connected with its culture. When you say “Good morning” instead of greeting with joining two hands ‘Namaste’, culture of respecting the other person is forgotten.
On National days, we salute the National Flag.
It is important what language you talk, and more important how you talk. Expression of language is a medium. Style of Presentation is that what counts. No language in the world, disappear suddently. It is gradually changing.
If you see here, a language is disappearing when another language is more widely used; similarly, new culture impacts the existing one.
We are definitely attached to our culture, traditions, or language. We are proud of it as well. However, ‘change’ is universal. If there’s no change, then it is stale.
