Tim has a completely different outlook from the one I have; if anything I should be your friend because I care about languages. Tim cares about wikipedia that is, the en.wikipedia.
Don't put words into my mouth. I've repeatedly made my position clear, here and elsewhere. My interest is in distributing general knowledge to the people of the world. Language is the medium; having a Wikipedia in many languages assists in this goal. Language preservation may well be a valid endeavour, but I don't think it should be part of Wikipedia's mission.
