Linguistic Fight

These days people back in my country are fighting for their language recognization. People are protesting for their own dialect to be recognised. I heard there are more than 90 dialects in our country and some may have already extinguished and some are about too. Preserving one's languge is understandable. That shows their history and that is their identiy. But bring them as official languge is wht i am unsatified with. Currently we have Nepali as official language. It is said that Nepali languge is originally known as Khas Bhasa, the language spoken by Bramin and Chettris. Which is i guess most widely spoken in Nepal and majority of people understand and speak. But i dont know why people are dying to make their own language to be used as official languge.

This is 21 century and we people need to be Global. English is recognised as global language and we need to adopt it. Even i suggest it to be used as only one official language in Nepal. Every individual need to know this languge. Currently Engish is used as second official language. Anyways that is even a satisfactory step for current situation of Nepal. Well i cannot ameliorate people's thinking but what i can do is start improving my own language proficiency.
