The effect of technology in languages

Nowadays the media has a very important role in our daily lives and new technologies improve this roles. That is the reason why the spread of them and the usage of the language used are so important.

This is the case of English. The internet is maybe the most important technological invention of all times, as we use it at any time for any work and to share or find information. We are always interacting with internet and the main language that it is used on the internet is English. That is why that language is becoming more and more powerful.

This is a serious problem for minoritarian languages like Danish or Basque, that are losing native speakers just because the leguage is old fashioned and less inportant than the lingua franca (english) or other big languages like German, Spanish or French.

If we look for solutions to this small use of minoritarian languages, that on the other hand is decreasing, we would underline the modernization and continous evolve of them as a way to survey. This would mean adapting the languages to modern necesities, and what nowadays society asks for. From our point of view, media is the perfect tool for it, being at the same time conscient of the changes it will bring to the language.

Although media changes the style or punctuation, grammar stays the same, which means the lasting of a language. And this would be the best end to minoritarian languages: to last.
