Interpret the quotations below. What do you think of them? "И если завтра мой язык исчезнет, то я готов сегодня умереть."

The author of the first quotation wants to say that the death of a language is such a terrible disaster that he even thinks it is impossible to live if his native language dies out.

The beginning of the second quotation shows how quickly languages die. The question at the end has two functions: first, it appeals to the reader; second, it shows that the author doesn\'t think languages dying is a disaster.
