Language activism

Language activism refers to efforts aimed at promoting, preserving, or revitalizing languages, particularly those that are endangered or marginalized. Activists seek to raise awareness about the importance of language diversity, advocating for the rights of speakers to use their native languages in education, media, and public life. This movement often involves community initiatives, policy changes, and cultural programs that encourage the use and transmission of languages, reinforcing their social and cultural significance. Ultimately, language activism aims to foster respect and appreciation for linguistic diversity and to combat language loss globally.
