• Maybe a reduction in numbers of<br />
<strong>language</strong>s will ease communication, help<br />
to build nations <strong>and</strong> global solidarity.<br />

to <strong>the</strong> ability to develop cultures suited for<br />
survival in a variety of environments.<br />
• These cultures have everywhere been<br />

in written literatures.<br />
• Each <strong>language</strong> constitutes a model of <strong>the</strong><br />
universe, a way of underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
