To the extent that we support cultural variety and identity, we recognize the enormous value that a diversity of languages has in this regard. A language barrier is the most efficient means of self-defense for any independent community against wholesale US cultural imperialism. English may serve the purpose of communication between different cultures. But what pertains to the internal aspects of a culture should, as much as possible, be in its own language. And not just in its own spoken language, but, if possible, also in its own writing system.
Actually, because not every language is equally suited to express certain ideas, the ideologies that make one culture different from another are, to a certain extent, a direct consequence of the fact that a different language is spoken and written. Just as our economic interests shape our opinions, a language has its own dynamics of creating ideas. That East Asia is one of the most culturally diverse regions of the world is directly correlated with the presence of more different languages and writing systems than anywhere else. This must be preserved.
