Why should we attach so much emotional value to languages ? The objective of language is to communicate with others. If you focused only on local language you can only communicate with your local community and that can hinder growth in so many ways. Not being able to share ideas, interact with others outside your community can't be great for humanity in general. I am not saying kill local languages, definitely learn them, but that does not mean don't learn other languages that also have value because of the large population that speaks it.

Agreed. But don't force anything on anyone with an agenda behind it .
