The forgotten Sabamba language, will we lose the language like this?

Today, we will meet Mr. Ken Kim, who teaches Sabamba at Berdasari International School in the southern town of Berdasari, among the fewer than 130 remaining Sabamba language teachers. He joined the Sabamba Language Department of Desa University three years before the government declared Esperanto an official language. The year he took the entrance exam and became a teacher, the government declared Esperanto to be officially used. Fortunately, he became a teacher at Verdasari International School just before the declaration. He explains that after 20 years of teaching Sabamba, students no longer know even the basic words of the language. In the past, he taught students Sabamba poetry at the same level as 'Lowcompleþen', but now students complain that they cannot even introduce themselves in Sabamba.
According to the General Population Survey conducted last year, only 4% of Sabamba citizens can read and correctly interpret texts written in Sabamba. It is being looked at whether this cultural exclusion is creating internal colonialism. Did the government make the right choice to reject the Sabamba language? And why did it choose Esperanto, which has fewer than 30,000 native speakers, rather than English, the world's common language? Corruption in the previous government is suspected. Until now, this has been Verdia Bean of Culture News (KSN).
