When a language dies, history and culture of the people who used that language also dies. The loss of a language could be culturally devastating as it would be impossible to unlock knowledge about the culture if no one can understand or use the language. The access to the history of the culture that used the language is also lost if language dies as again there will be no one who can interpret any written or physical records of history. When a language dies, there will be no native speakers who consider that language as their mother tongue language and therefore it would cause loss of resources about the language itself.
