Globalization has significantly affected languages by promoting the spread of dominant languages, particularly English, which often leads to language shift and erosion of linguistic diversity. As cultures intermingle through trade, technology, and media, smaller or indigenous languages may face decline as speakers adopt more widely used languages for economic and social opportunities. This phenomenon can result in language loss and the diminishing use of local dialects, while simultaneously creating hybrid languages and new linguistic forms that reflect global influences.
