Language is major part of a country's culture. I think if a country loose their language they are also loosing their big parts of culture. According to video, a lot of languages disappear right now. There are rare people use that language so that's the major reason language disappear. Because of using another language with their original language, they just get used to use another languages like English, sometimes, they are forgetting their original language slowly. Using language like English is more convenient and they think they do not have to use the language any more. I think the starting point of language extinction is using their original language with another more international languages. Luckily or not, Korea is using official language Korean, and everybody just used that when they first learn how to speak. In Korea history Japan force for Korean people not to use Korean and to speak Japanese, but they failed. If they made it Korea still could be one of Japan's colony.
