coexist, so no culture is lost.

2. In your understanding, translate the major goals of language


policies.

languages so that they are not forgotten. Additionally, language
policies provide people with the skills to communicate in multiple
languages for future opportunities.

Many ancient languages were used in the past. Some of them include
Tamil, Sanskrit, Egyptian, Hebrew, Greek, Basque, Lithuanian, Farsi,
