Abstract

Globalization has heightened the risks to linguistic diversity, putting endangered languages at an increased likelihood of disappearing. This article investigates the factors that threaten language survival in today’s interconnected world and explores approaches for their preservation. As dominant languages influence global communication, economic activities, and digital media, minority languages often face marginalization, resulting in cultural loss and diminished linguistic heritage. Nonetheless, globalization also brings new opportunities for preservation, such as digital archiving, language-learning tools, and online communities. By examining the challenges and preservation potential that globalization presents, this study highlights the value of digital innovations, community-led efforts, and policy measures in protecting endangered languages. The findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive strategies to support linguistic diversity and promote a more inclusive global language landscape.
