is it important for a country or a nation a national language?

Answer 1

Yes. If you're going to live somewhere, you need to know the language. There is national pride in being united in one language.

Answer 2

Yes for a example i am from a country named Romania. Romanian is a Romance language spoken by around of 24-28 milion people, primary in Romania and Moldova.It enjoys official status in Romania, Moldova and Autonomous Province of Vojoodina.
The Romanian territory was inhabited in ancient times by Dacians, an Indo-European people.We were defeated by the Roman Empire in 106 and part of Dacia became a Roman province. For the next 165 years there was a Roman colonization, so the 2 languages dacian and Latin mix together creating a new language and a new people. For me my language is everything, it defines who i am. I personally know 5 different languages (English, Japanese, France, Russian and roman) but i d never give up my language and my country. It maybe isn't the most perfect country or the prefect language but i like it very much. My ancestors did in fight for us to keep our country and our language great ancestors like: Vlad Ţepeş, Iancu de Hunedoara, Ştefan cel Mare, Mircea cel Bătrân, and others. The first one Vlad Ţepeş you might heard of him he is often named count Dracula and lives in Transylvania.(but that is a political lie). My language is very important to me, it tales me how i am and where i come from!

Answer 3

Yes. Language and cultural identity go hand in hand. Some countries have more than one, e.g. Wales (Welsh and English); Switzerland (French, German, Italian), Belgium (French and Flemish).

Problems arise when there is a dispute over which should be the national language e.g. speakers of one who object to the use of other(s).

Answer 4

National language is more an emotional need than constitutional need.But you do need a specific language in which the affairs of Government can be carried out and recorded.

Answer 5

Yes, everyone should be on the same page. Communication is our most vital tool. Learning the language is only to ones advantage. Not only does it make things easier for everyone around you, you yourself are not at risk for being fleeced by charletons.

Answer 6

We have two official languages, and all government agencies are required to speak both. It has not hurt my country and makes it easier to travel, find better jobs and be more diverse.

Answer 7

Yes. There are many reasons why and I will pick one that I am familiar with.

Their safety.

There are illegal aliens working in one of our coal mines. They can't speak English. They have had a lot of injury's because they can't understand warnings.

How do they do their job in any work place and work safe.

If they work in fast food, do they know to worry about the safety of the consumer. They can't read the rules of cooking, so that we the consumer doesn't end up with food poisoning.

The list just goes on and on. Just think about it.
