These entities provide us an opportunity to celebrate life, to enjoy diversities, preserve human values, provide window to express thoughts, works, etc as humanely as possible as opposed to any other. Even though language provides an approximate form of communication between individuals, it is the best we have. An identity of self won't have any meaning without language.

Languages have influenced the technologies, what with we standardize the applications built using English-like language. We have software / O/S es being made available in Spanish, Hindi, German, Tamil etc., to name a few. We don't have National character set for databases without any reason.

It would/could eventually converge with other languages and form a composite set spoken by wider set or people. The basic reasons could be migration/displacement of people, trade , etc. The essence of language remains same - exchange information, understand ideas, collaborate , not to mention the efficacy of the same depends on the users using the language, it would depend upon their understanding the fine nuances of language - its attributes like grammar, structure, semantics.
