All history shows: idioms of dominant states often lead to the disappearance of the languages of the dominated states. Greek engulfed the Phrygian. Latin killed the Iberian and Gallic. Currently, 25 languages are disappearing every year! Understand one thing: I'm not fighting against English, I fight for diversity. An Armenian proverb wonderfully summarizes my thought: "The more languages you know, the more you are a person."

This is also an invariant of history. Gallic disappeared because Gallic elites were quick to send their children to the Roman school. In the same way, provincial elites later taught their offspring French at the expense of the regional languages. The ruling classes are often the first to adopt the language of the invader. They do the same today with English.
