Answer 1

When a country puts some restrictions on some other country's language then there may be several reasons. Promotion of native language is important because it generates a sense of connection among people. If people work in their native language then they can express their feelings with more clarity.

The factor of getting influenced by other people's culture also gets reduced significantly through such bans. Maintaining own dominance, promotion of own language, reducing the influence of foreign country, ensuring easiness in doing various tasks, increasing the strength of mutual bonding, saving own culture, protecting own traditions, spreading emotions about greatness of own cultural practices and developing a unique identity at global level may be some of the possible reasons for banning some other language.

This is also a fact that whenever connectivity increases at global platform then aspect of cross culture grows. People exchange ideas through various mediums. They adopt various foreign words in their linguistic skills.

They also adopt some unique cultural practices. Importance of own culture can not be shown by suppressing other's culture or language. One should focus on advertising the speciality of own culture, traditions and language.
