language death due to IndustrializationPradeep Xess
Language death occurs when a language is no longer spoken or taught to new generations. The main causes of language death are industrialization, urbanization, displacement, globalization, modern education, and technological development. These forces lead speakers of minority languages to abandon their native tongues in favor of more dominant languages. A UN report identified 198 Indian languages currently at risk of dying out, with experts estimating that an Indian language goes extinct every two weeks on average, primarily due to the impacts of industrialization. Efforts are needed to preserve endangered languages, such as continuing to speak them, teaching children, maintaining cultural traditions, and respecting all languages.

Wordsworth's preface discusses his views on poetry, including that poetry is the breath and spirit of all science that propagates moral thoughts. Poetry that revolts against moral ideas is revolting against life itself. The language of poetry should be simple and from common people, not elaborate. Wordsworth saw the poet as having a greater knowledge of human nature and sensibility to passionately enter into other lives and translate feelings into words for common people, not just the elite. He defined poetic creation as arising from spontaneous powerful feelings that are then recollected with tranquility.

CHINA’S GEO-ECONOMIC OUTREACH IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES AND FUTURE PROSPECTjpsjournal1
The rivalry between prominent international actors for dominance over Central Asia's hydrocarbon
reserves and the ancient silk trade route, along with China's diplomatic endeavours in the area, has been
referred to as the "New Great Game." This research centres on the power struggle, considering
geopolitical, geostrategic, and geoeconomic variables. Topics including trade, political hegemony, oil
politics, and conventional and nontraditional security are all explored and explained by the researcher.
Using Mackinder's Heartland, Spykman Rimland, and Hegemonic Stability theories, examines China's role
in Central Asia. This study adheres to the empirical epistemological method and has taken care of
objectivity. This study analyze primary and secondary research documents critically to elaborate role of
china’s geo economic outreach in central Asian countries and its future prospect. China is thriving in trade,
pipeline politics, and winning states, according to this study, thanks to important instruments like the
Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative. According to this study,
China is seeing significant success in commerce, pipeline politics, and gaining influence on other
governments. This success may be attributed to the effective utilisation of key tools such as the Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation and the Belt and Road Economic Initiative.
