English has long borrowed words from other languages. Here are just a few examples:
kindergarten
anorak
igloo
video
perestroika
glasnost
holocaust
café
schadenfreude
céilidh
graffiti
blitz
...and so on. |
But i think english is an exception here.it's different about Parsi,it's not in danger of extinction,but imagine a day when %95 of words used by speakers are not Parsi.imagine 50 years further people who call themselves persian speakers can't understand the meaning of most persian words.
what do you call it?what's the condition of a language then?
we are moving towards that point,losing more words everyday.
if english borrows many words,there are still more words created in this language,but what about our language?
now some people are making Parsi webblogs encouraging people to use Parsi words,but until the government takes no actions,nothing will be proceeded.
