Globalization today has become a strong force that connects people, cultures, and languages across the world. As communication between different societies increases, languages are also changing, interacting, and influencing one another in new ways. This article looks at how globalization affects language diversity, considering both its positive and negative sides. On the one hand, globalization makes it easier for people to communicate across cultures, learn new languages, and access digital tools that help document and preserve endangered languages. On the other hand, it also encourages the use of dominant global languages, especially English, which can lead to the gradual decline of smaller and minority languages. The study is based on a qualitative review of existing research and real-world examples, focusing on how globalization shapes language use in everyday life. It also considers the role of technology, migration, and global communication in influencing linguistic changes. The analysis shows that while globalization creates new opportunities for linguistic exchange and multilingualism, it also puts pressure on less widely spoken languages. In this sense, the impact of globalization on language diversity appears to be a continuous balance between connection and loss, where the future of many languages will largely depend on how societies choose to value, use, and preserve them in an increasingly interconnected world.
