Give at least two reasons why the icelandic language is in trouble. do you think it is a good idea for leaders to spend more than $9 million to save the language

The Icelandic language is in trouble because tow main reasons: the dramatic increment of tourism in recent years and the voice recognition technologies in smartphones and other devices. In both cases English as the universal language, facilitates the communication with tourist and smart devices; therefore, making Icelandic less necessary in everyday situations. This is diminishing the use of Icelandic in favor of English.

I think the efforts of the government to preserve Icelandic are completely worth it. The Icelandic language is heritage of the humanity as whole and it will be a shame to lost it just because of globalization.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
