People with same local laguage,same local culture and live in the same locality are call generally Community People.
Peoples own language comes along with their time of  born.
They can not forget it for ever.
Where a person grown up that is his/her own environment and follow the culture and tradition of that environment.
When that person become adult or old then he/she can not forget the culture and language in his/her childhood.
But people are always migrating for employment and business from one place to another.
They forced to learn the new culture and language of the new place.
Thus his/her language becomes disappears.
When a Language die then the disappearance started of the World's Languages and the Erosion occurred in Human Knowledge.
It is not commonly known, but there are nearly seven thousand languages in the world.
People are typically surprised when they hear that figure and then their next reaction is "Why didn't I know this before?" Our best scientific estimates say that at least half of the world's languages are endangered and many could vanish in the coming decades or in the current century.
It's a little hard to predict the exact pace.
Languages go extinct for many reasons, but the main reason–which you could put under the heading globalization–is that there are very strong economic and social pressures against languages.
Communities, speakers essentially abandon languages because they are forced to do so.
They're pressured into it.
They come to believe, based on more dominant cultures, that their language is obsolete, backwards and not suited for the modern world; or that the only way to advancement is to switch over entirely to global languages.
The irony is that that's simply not true.
Nobody has to grown up with one language in order to speak another.

A group of people living in the same locality and under the same government are known as community people.
  Understanding others makes possible a better knowledge of oneself: any form of identity is complex, for individuals are defined in relation to other people .Understanding and valuing cultural diversity are the keys to countering racism.
All individuals must feel free to explore the uniqueness of their culture and identity while developing understandings of the cultural diversity that exists in the world around them.
Denying cultural expression means limiting the expression of unique perspectives on life and the transmission of knowledge from generation to generation.
  Language is intrinsic to the expression of culture.
As a means of communicating values, beliefs and customs, it has an important social function and fosters feelings of group identity and solidarity.
It is the means by which culture and its traditions and shared values may be conveyed and preserved.
  Language is fundamental to cultural identity.
This is so for people everywhere.
For all tribal people, their unique world is expressed in their own language.
For this reason, it is important that people keep their own language alive.
As languages disappear, cultures die.
The world becomes inherently a less interesting place, but we also sacrifice raw knowledge and the intellectual achievements of millennia.
  Language is a medium of social interact specific to each culture passed down as legacy from one generation to the other to give identity and pride with a sense of belonging to a community or even a nation that maintains distinct culture.
In a multicultural society the dominant language in the majority group becomes the social interact with the minority cultural groups who however maintain their own language to interact with their own community.
For alien language to be accepted in any culture the process of defamiliarization plays an important role in rejecting or accepting a language.
Language does not develop in a vacuum.
We are all members of a social group and members of `society´ as a whole.
People interact in many ways and communication is just about the most common and among the most important.
Whatever is meaningful to a group, from their everyday life to their traditions constitutes their very own culture and is generally respected by all group members.
Language is only one of such items.
For ethnic minority groups that may have a language of their own, their language is a cornerstone in their culture.
Anthropology is the science that deals with `culture´ as a whole.
Linguistics deals with aspects of language and Sociolinguistics studies the way that language is used in society.So now,we understand why the community people love their own language.
and cultue.

there are so many globalization so I asume that people just want to keep something "local" as much as they can.
Although, younger generations are more opend minded to globalization so it is hard to make a line somewhere between.
Depends on community and field of interest.
