Question

English is the language of opportunity why bother to teach indigenous languages?

Answer 1

Indigenous languages preserve and communicate the indigenous culture, history, customs, etc. Indigenous languages are essential to the local culture, the family, the community. To communicate with other communities, cultures, etc., a common language is necessary (and English is the most common international/intercultural language).

Answer 2

Do you think local culture is important to the people whose culture it is? Or should it be abandoned? What is your opinion?
