We should care about languages dying out because they show the rich cultural differences in the world. If all of the people in the world converged into speaking one language we would also loose a great amount of history. The language of a culture shows a great deal about the people themselves and their way of life. Imagine if French ever became a dead language, the French people in themselves would loose a piece of their identity. France would still be France essentially; their customs may not change. But I can’t imagine if for whatever reason, old languages started dying out that the way the society functioned collectively would not change. So, lets keeps these languages alive.
