  It is a condition of advancement of modern society and no real way to avoid it. The most that one can do is record and study the language for historical study so it may not become forgotten. It is sad that some languages have completely died out within the culture that still exists with no record. This has happened to many indigenous groups around the globe.

  Yes, its true that a good number of languages are dying every year and I'm really worried about that ! As said by "sauravgoswami" we will lose individuality. Today we are opting for speaking same language tomorrow we may opt for looking identical. Whats this ???
  
  And in country like India many parents are opting "English Medium" schools for their children. Its true that English is a language of technology, language of business and language of glob, etc. But it can be taught as a subject ! Why medium ??? I mean whats the purpose of studying our history in other people's language ???
  
  An incident happened with me, wherein I was asked to write my name in Hindi by a lady who studied in English Medium (I guess so). I asked if she means Devanagari, to which she replied she doesn't know what is Devanagri. PS: She is a graduate and works for a MNC.
