€The ongoing collapse of the world's biodiversity is more than just an apt metaphor for the crisis of language extinction. In Peter Austin, ed., Language Documentation and Description. Oxford University Press: London, UK. The Extinction of the World's Languages. (Crystal, 2000) This paper examines the most important reasons that language extinction is a tragedy by first refuting the idea of a one world language then, exploring several reasons that we should care about language extinction, explaining why the most important reason is the ethical one, and finally, the possibility of preserving them. Nettle, Daniel and Suzanne Romaine. Language diversity is connected explicitly with the health of the environment, assert anthropologist Daniel Nettle and professor of English Suzanne Romain, in Vanishing Voices: The Extinction of the World's Languages, 2000.
