How to protect local language？ The world is getting smaller.More and more people speak the three most common languages：English，Spanish and Chjye.aiese.In many parts of the world，grandparents speak a language that their grandchildren do not understand.Because these local languages aren't taught to children or spoken at home，they are slowly disappearing.
A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of children in the community speak it. （1）BBIf children no longer learn to use a language，it will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and after a long time the language will be gone.Why should we keep languages alive？Local languages hold the key to understanding a culture's beliefs and values. （2）EE"You need to look at different kinds of languages，because no one language gets it all，" said researcher Dr.Linda Cumberland who is working to save Assinibione，a native American language.
（3）DDAccording to Dr.Cumberland，dying languages need dictionary and people to understand and record the grammar about them.Most importantly，you need to listen to those who still speak the language.This can be very difficult，especially if there are very few speakers of the language left.
Today the UNESCO lists more than 3，000 languages that may disappear by the end of this century. （4）CCUnluckily，hundreds of languages have fewer than 25 speakers remaining and may soon be lost forever.
