Multilingualism, Mission: Impossible (VII)

Multilingualism don’t have sufficient reason for survival, so it seek help from multiculturalism. It is totally different concept, language is not culture it is but a tool of information carrier. It is like camera and culture like the scenery. Good language or efficient language like good camera it can take both clearer photo and vague photo, but bad or underdeveloped language like bad film it can only take vogue photo.  
Various cultures supply us various imagination and thinking. Only good and efficient language can promote and spread minority, culture, while to promote minority culture by minority language is inefficiency, uneconomic and impossible. For the survival of minority language is depend on the money from the mainstream culture, if the money is not enough, then it still can’t help the language, if the money is enough, then the mainstream culture will become minority language later.

The different with rationalism and multilingualism is that the former is looking for the solution of remove the barricade of language. It means that to find a best language, without any learning, everyone can communicate with others freely. Although it is only a dream or miracle, but we can do something towards this target that is learning less knowing more. While the target of multilingualism is on the contrary, it is finding more languages to force everybody learning more in order keep the funding of education industry soaring up. Finally, everybody learning the same knowledge by different language, in other word, learning more and knowing the same.
