To those who are afraid about the existence of Gujarati in future

I was going to put this as a comment on a post, but I thought more people need to hear this, so here's my thoughts on this. I'll urge you to read this with your brain instead of your heart for once. Also, if you get offended reading this, then do know before coming at me with your insults, that I'm a guy who has studied in Gujarati medium till 12th standard, I love my language as much as anyone. And it's irritating to see the same kind of posts on this sub.

Well, more languages you learn in school years, more efficient and developed the relevant part of your brain becomes, and that handles analytical and critical thinking as well, so, you learn more languages, you become smarter, win win. Apart from that, we aren't that insecure about our language, right? We shouldn't be as well. And it's harder to learn new languages as you age.

And accept it or not, we cannot preserve a language as is forever, without making everyone stop speaking it in daily life. Semantic shift in a language is a natural process, and it happens in all.spoken languages.

Y'all "language-saviours" would be as weirded out as others, if someone started speaking in say, Gujarati that was spoken some generations ago. Put a hand on your heart, and honestly tell me how many of you didn't laugh at that guy's flawless proper Gujarati in Chhello Divas? For my fellow Gen Z guys, won't your parents be shocked if you started calling them baa-bapuji instead of mummy-pappa?

The point is, don't freak out if someone younger uses more English words in their daily language than you used to, or if some signboard of some random shop is not in Gujarati. Or unnecessarily worrying that the government is replacing Gujarati with Hindi. Or whatever...

Nothing is going to happen to Gujarati, your kids will still speak Gujarati, a bit changed, but still, Gujarati, will do garba on Gujarati songs, might be new ones, but still Gujarati songs. Will still read and write Gujarati, if you enroll them in a school that teaches in the Gujarati medium.

And if you're still worried about the future of Gujarati while your kid is studying in the English medium, no one is as hypocritical as you. If schools see kids getting admitted in Gujarati medium, they will improve the quality of education to avoid dissatisfied parents. Don't leave your kid's education just on the school, it's your responsibility as well, take part in it.

Also, college education needs to be in English, because you like it or not, English is the international language and we're not limited to our locality in job opportunities anymore, my boss might be sitting in Germany, and their clients might be in Brazil, won't it be easier and economical for all of us to talk one single language, that is English instead of switching between three languages?

Ok, rant over, if you thought I was ranting.
