I think it is very important to save the language because to me when a language is gone it never comes back.
ReplyDeleteThey should save the language because some of the Native Americans don't speak English and can't write English words. So the people who don't know how to speak English can communicate in their own language. They can save the language by adding it to computers.
ReplyDeleteI think it is important because there are kids that are part of the Cherokee. Also I think it would be fun to learn Cherokee because you'll be learning a new language.
ReplyDeleteI think its very important cause I belive every language should be perseved!
ReplyDeleteI think its sad that that so many languages have been lost for ever so i think it's very important io preserve the cherokee language. I also think that we should try to bring latin back becaus so many of our words are based from it.
ReplyDeleteI think the language can be saved by, anyone who knows how to speak it start speaking it and teach other people how to speak it.
ReplyDeleteI think that its important to preserve the language , because it helps represent where you're from. And who you are.
ReplyDeleteI think it is cool that those kids are trying to help keep the Cherokee language spoke throughout their family and throughout their culture. Especially when they are using computers and iphones. I wonder if they are using ipads?
ReplyDeleteYes: if its important to kids and adults.To save the language we can help by letting other friends family know so they could help.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good to volunteer. Because if nobody wants to do it then there will be fewer people knowing the language.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is to do it on cars also. Like the kind of cars that talk, they should have the cars speak that language also.
I think that they should keep trying to save that language. I think that because if they don't save the language then all of the history of that tribe thing would be gone. People might think that they don't have anything important in that tribe but I bet they do have a lot of things that are important... It is the second most populated...
ReplyDeleteSaving the Cherokee language would be a good thing. It is also sad that not many more people no to much about unless they are ages 50 and up. It's nice they are teaching children and young adults. It is important to save a language because people speak it and what if that is the only language they speak? What if you also don't know what they are saying when there is an amergency?
ReplyDeleteNative Languages are important to the culture. As many languages as poible should be saved.
ReplyDeleteNo because if not many people speak it why try to save it. If you really wanted to save it get people to sign a pation.
ReplyDeleteI think it is important to preserve the language because it is a part of their lifestyle and communication, if no one tried to preserve it they would lose a huge part of their history.One way to save the language is to have special classes around the world teaching Cherokee, it will greatly influence the children to pass it on.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to perserve the Cherokee language because like any other language we save, it's important to our people beacause that language is part of the history from the past.
ReplyDeleteWe can teach most young siblings that is in a Cherokee family to write messages for either their other Cherokee friends or other family relatives.We can also help save the Cherokee language by reapeating words that Cherokee youths do not know yet. Also we can help save the Cherokee lanuage by teaching people that's eager to learn the Cherokee language.Clearly saving the Cherokee language is important.
I do think that it is important to save the language because it is their first language. A way you can save language by teaching your kids the language.
ReplyDeleteIf the Cherokee language dissapears I would feel bad because they wont have another language to speak other than English if they really like their other language. But anyways, I think they should keep the language for safety reasons and for beliefs. A suggestion for the Cherokee language to be saved is to do anything you can do to keep it for you and your culture.
ReplyDeleteI think that saving a language is important beacuase all of the history that the language is forgotten with that language.So yes I would save a language if I could.
ReplyDeleteYes it is important to save the cherokee language because your part of that culture why don't you learn the language as well. Plus i kinda think it would be easier to use Iphones,computers,and other technoligy to learn a language
ReplyDeleteI Think that a language was important to me because some body else that you dont know language what are saying i will teach some people
ReplyDeleteI do think it is important to try to preserve the language because even if it is not inportant to somebody else that you dont even know what they are saying or how it is important to them
ReplyDeleteI think its dumb too save a language, and if theres a langauge thats dieing let it die!!!
ReplyDeleteYes you should proctect there language because they will feel really sad and they wouldn't speak. What if your language was lost and what whould feel like? So thats why you have to save the language.
ReplyDeleteI think we should still be able to learn a foreign language
