Quote by Maisie Junardy

“Sayangnya banyak sekali ragam bahasa yang menghilang setiap tahunnya. Penuturnya semakin berkurang, dan akhirnya habis. Generasi yang lebih muda tidak lagi menggunakan bahasa daerah mereka. Selain bahasa beberapa budaya lain juga mengalami hal yang sama. Pelakunya makin sedikit, dan akhirnya hilang.”

But if we don't buck the trend, We'll forever be stamped.”
