Cause Of Sabaot Language Extinction: Globalization
Abstract
This research mainly focused on the various factors that bring about the slow extinction of Sabaot language. One may actually not realize or even get bothered that native languages are endangered, but in reality they are in great danger than one can imagine. Sabaot language, for instance is at the verge of dying and unless something is done to it, they may end up losing one of the languages that carries with it numerous culture and traditions. Some of these factors that were focused on apply to many other languages that have fallen victim of this big disaster of language extinction, globalization being the main factor that cuts across all those languages that are being threatened to extinction today. This study aimed at identifying how these different aspects, globalization being the main factor, have contributed to a slow but sure journey of Sabaot language extinction
