International auxiliary language
If all schools taught an easy "second language" for international communication, all mother-tongues, languages, dialects, idioms could remain in use locally, preserving ethnic identity AND the integrity of national languages. If English becomes the main language, English risks to break up into Englishes (as Latin did) it would be a great injustice to this elegant tongue and a great loss to literature.

This is a great comment, Henriette, and such a language exists!
Esperanto.
Designed as a world wide second language for some of the reasons you've outlined (and a few more).
