The Choctaw language is in a real danger now because there are less and less people speaking it. It spoken by native inhabitants of USA. There are now approximately 9500 people speaking it.
This language is becoming extinct because it isn't popular anymore. It isn't spoken by many people so people started speaking American English. It wasn't always like that. Firstly, natives had been speaking their mother tongue Choctaw. Then, the next generation spoke it only at home and in the end people started speaking only the main language.
Of course, if we imagine that only 9500 people are speaking this language we become disappointed. But maybe we can still preserve it from dying out?
The endangered languages are being saved now by special communities that include these languages to the school program. It is also a good way to save the language by using social media. Yeah, i'm not kidding. You can find a group or something where people share idioms or songs of the rare language. This way they save it! Anyway, we have to make efforts to increase the number of people speaking endangered languages, including Choctaw.
I chose this language because i found it interesting to know something about the first language of USA. It was captivating finding information about this language and if i have an opportunity and time, i will definitely try to learn something from this language.
