The language has allowed us to since its creation, satisfy our need to

communicate with each other and thus to be able to form and live in
communities. Without the use of the language, the culture of the human being
could wobble and even disappear. The main languages of the world include a
little less than half of the global population, which leads us to ask ourselves,
what happens with the other languages?

During the last century there have become extinct approximately 400
languages around the world. In most cases languages died because people
simply abandoned their native tongues when they became surrounded by
people speaking more common or dominant lenguage, in their own country or
abroad. Dispense with to practice, the fluidity of a native language begins to
disappear in the speaker and progressively the language also.

For this and other reasons, there are languages that are disappearing
throughout the world.

In Ecuador, according to the Interactive Atlas of the world's languages in

danger prepared by UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization), considered that there are six languages in danger of
extinction, of which two are in a "critical situation"; these are: Awap'it, Kichwa,
Shiwiar chicham, Siona-seoya, Zapra and Sia pedee.

But does it matter whether a seemingly language spoken by a few people in

one isolated corner of the world goes out of existence?

We lose ancient knowledge, if we lose languages ", says David Harrison,co-

founder of the non-profit Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages.
The diverse languages have been supportive of deep cultural knowledge. They
contain a group accumulated of knowledge, included those of geography,
zoology, mathematics, astronomy, pharmacology, botany, meteorology and
more.

Think about this: Since the sonorous cinema was implemented, the
cinematographic industry has mobilized million dollars for to sale and
production of movies, which form a part of one or another culture. According to
Statista, a web portal of statistics; in the world, people spends annually more
than 90 millions dollars in this type of entertainment,so why not we must also
invest in preserving the only thing that we have to communicate and express
our ways of life to others?
Maybe our natal language is one common or acquaintance but there exist
speaking persons of minority languages who do not possess information in his
natal language and who slowly go forgetting it and their culture becomes
extinct.

The technology has allowed us to help and to increase the knowledge in all the
possible languages. For example, there is a version of already available
OpenOffice in Ecuadorian Kichwa, and there is an Openkichwa app allows
speakers to write messages with words of their language and get more
information.
