Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the importance of mother tongue as a barrier against the omnipresent language unitarization at the global level that will in the future result in one language dominating general communication and in the disappearance and extinction of numerous small languages. One’s mother tongue must therefore be protected, cherished, enriched, developed, studied and legally protected. And most importantly, the mother tongue must be loved; people must think, write and read in their mother tongue. This is the only way to protect it and preserve it for generations to come.
