People won´t forget their culture when they use different language..
Even English is adapted by its useres different ways. But its better world with different English versions, than world, where not many ppl understand each other..
On other hand, I´m not much bothered on some stupid things like patriotism, cultural identity etc. Live and let live.. Its pretty worthless, cause humankind will never ever learn from its mistakes, so theres no need to remember some history, we will make same mistakes sooner or later again..
A chain is only as strong as it's individual links, same goes for humankind, as a whole is only as strong as it's individuals. Unlike links, humans NEED to identify themselves, they do that by the obvious physical trademarks, but also by personality, taste in films, music, books and other people. People, individuals are defined by whom they know, are friends, are family with. Who they like and dislike etc... People with common definitions such as music band together, as much as ppl with the same geopgraphical placement do. It's what we call communities.
Communities are much like people, they are living things that evolve, and grow. What a community, or a person is, is as much a indification of itself of what it was.
History, cultural identification are important to humanity as its whole, a long rant to come to this one point, even if we all spoke the same theoretical language, a community on the other side of the world would eventually have grown that language to something of their own you won't understand anyway. With globalisation this migh not be as harsh as it happened in the past (as in prehostoric times we used all the same gutteral grunts to communicate...) but one unifying global language is an ideal that is against our nature.
