You're a prime example of what I've talked about: people without any love for or sense of their language (whichever one in your case).
It's hard to know how to read your comment upthread but invoking violent protest and using political rhetoric like "never forgive" can't possibly have a salutary influence on an online discussion. When you're hot under the collar, please cool down before posting.
That's why we consider the Turks eradicating the Kurdish language a human rights violation, but don't say the same thing when, say, a swimming pool closes.
How much it is a part of one's identity and a "core of one's being" is up to every specific person to decide, not for you to impose.
