Language is the most basic expression of an in-group. Any group that doesn't at least gate-keep language inevitably ends up assimilated into a larger gestalt, which more often than not is completely distant and unconcerned with the former distinct group's particularities and needs
also language barrier is one of the building blocks necessary to build up a distinct culture and tradition. Without it, any cultural renaissance, reform or revolution or counter culture is invariably doomed to be absorbed back, whether noticeably or more often than not unnoticeably, into the gestalt.
