Minor languages, major importance
Languages the way of the dodo
And I, for one, will not miss them. How are we damaged by the fact that no one now speaks Aramaic, Cumbric, Dalmation, Etruscan, Gaulish, Latin, Norn, Pictish, Sudovian, Umbrian, or Vandalic?
       If the world officially recognized a single inter-tribal de jure (today English, de facto), I would be more supportive of keeping self-isolating tongues alive.
