Language and their need of community

You need a community to have a language that lives long and prospers; what the Jewish did was exactly that, and they chose Hebrew as their community language. That is what you need to do with the Irish speaking community; they have to be willing to use it among themselves, even in front of the disapproval of their fellow English-speaking citizens. That's how French kept on in all parts of Canada where it is still spoken today, and that is what I intend to do when I'll be going back to Canada (including also all the First Nation languages in my goal).

As the Irish, speakers that is, say, Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam. A country without a language, a country without a soul.

Why keep French?

Yesterday, a very intelligent woman I met asked me the greatest question ever. She was Japanese, but was very considerate about people's background. She asked me :

"Why do the Quebeckers and all the French speakers in Canada keep French?"

I found that question very interesting, but as an answer, I asked her the following question :

"Do you want to change your language for Korean?"

She said that I probably used the best answer ever to make her understand the whole issue easily.
