  Languages as Garhwali and Kumauni are in danger. Bhishma Kukreti wrote a humorous with little bit satirical article Sau sal Aithra Ki Garhwali (Garh Aina, 27, June 1989).

 The writer dreams about Garhwali in middle schools.  However, the change in Garhwali is definite and

 अहा !घडयावदिजब गढ़वळि सौ साल बाद डा. महावीर गैरोला क अठों पुस्त डा. महावीरगैरोला क कविता इ नि समजली. अर अपण झड़ ददा, पड़ ददा का गढव ळि कवितौं तैसमजणो बान कुंजी द्याख्ली अर प्रावेट ट्यूटर धौरली.. अर वूं तै अपण ददा पर रोष आलो किकन्फणि सि कविता लिखीं च.

The writer is positive that students will take Garhwali seriously and would like to do research on old Garhwali literature in 2100 AD.

  The writer humorously and satirically, talks about the responsibility of literature creators for protecting Garhwali specially using Garhwali words instead Hindi.

 Kukreti indirectly talks about Garhwali as endangered   language and put the responsibilities on Garhwali speakers to protect the same.
