PART B_2

The endangered language
Almost 125,000 Native Americans lived in the southeastern United States in 1830 but were forced to move west in 1838. During that time, many of them died while walking to Oklahoma. However, some Native Americans under the leader named Tsali refused to leave. After the fight, many soldiers were killed. Tsali was told that if he surrendered, others could live freely. So, he gave his life for others to be free. However, Cherokee which is their native language has become endangered because many children were not learning it.
Cherokee is just one of the many endangered languages in the world. Experts say that 50 percent of the world’s languages will be lost by the end of this century. One of the reasons for the loss of languages is when one country takes over another. The defeated country usually adopts the invader’s language. Also, some immigrants decide not to teach their native language to their children because they think fewer opportunities will be given to them.
Languages make each culture unique so they should be protected and shared to the future generations.
