asked:
Is it so hard for you to accept that hoarding a language and having such an elitist entitlement will, no matter how much you may argue, lead many Native languages to extinction? There is absolutely no harm in any human being wanting to learn a new language. It's a beautiful thing that the modernity of civilization can allow for such transcendence of cultures. If anything, learning a different language is a great way to expand a persons ability to respect and understand another culture.

Ah yes.

How dare I state an opinion.

Because I’ve stated this opinion, all NDN languages are now doomed to die off. 

I’m sorry guise, pls forgive me.

I didn’t know the future of all 500+ NDN languages rode on a 17 year old high school girl.

We are all dooomed.

Yo this is fucking stupid this is fucking prideful….how are you against people wanting to learn about your culture?

You can learn about a culture without having to learn their language. Please understand some cultural groups are not wanting to share their languages with outsiders. (Particularly after bearing a mass genocide that continues to go on, which still actively oppresses us today.)

First they try (and in some cases succeeded) in torturing our languages out of us now they want them for themselves?
