A healthy languages is a language in which the adults are teaching their kids how to speak the language. Languages are dying out mostly because of globalization. Small country have to choice if they want to remain small and poor or go to more global languages that will bring in more jobs. Most countries switch to global language for economic reasons. Some languages have been brought back after they were considered extinct. The main group that is trying to persevere languages it actually medical companies, they are doing this to learn tribal remedies. Some groups like Native California do not want to just preserve their language they want to make their language commonly spoken. All in all, many of todays great and interesting languages will die out and with them thousands of years of knowledge will be lost.

Question: Why do people in different regions of the United States speak English
differently?
Their are different dialects in the US for three main reasons communication used to be harder, people migrated the US from different places, and the environment of the US is different from place to place. Back in the old days it would take weeks to travel from coast to coast in North America. This long travel time slowed down the universalization of the english language making small differences from place to place more noticeable. Another key reason their are many dialects in the US is because people that come to the US come from a lot of different backgrounds. When english is not your first language you tend to pronounce things slightly differently. Since the US has a range of different climates and landscapes people pick up different words and saying to depict everyday life. When places are really hot most weather saying are centered around the weather being hot, while cold places have saying about the cold. All in all, the US has a range of different dialects ranging from slight to very extreme.
