INDIA
There are 398 languages in India including 387 living and 11 extinct languages .
PERSONAL
The child’s first language is critical to his or her identity. Maintaining this language helps the child value his or her culture and heritage, which contributes to a positive self-concept.
INTELLECTUAL
Students need uninterrupted intellectual development. When students who are not yet fluent in English switch to using only English, they are functioning at an intellectual level below their age. Interrupting intellectual development in this manner is likely to result in academic failure. However, when parents and children speak the language they know best with one another, they are both working at their actual level of intellectual maturity.
SOCIAL
When the native language is not maintained, important links to family and other community members may be lost. By encouraging native language use, parents can prepare the child to interact with the native language community, both in the United States and overseas.
EDUCATIONAL
Students who learn English and continue to develop their native language have higher academic achievement in later years than do students who learn English at the expense of their first language.
