language surveys

Language surveys are tools used to gather information about the languages people speak, understand, or use in a specific area or community. They help researchers, governments, and organizations assess language needs, preferences, and diversity. By asking questions about language use at home, school, and work, these surveys provide insights into linguistic habits, language proficiency, and cultural identity. The data collected aids in making informed decisions about education, public services, and language policies, ensuring resources are appropriately allocated to support multilingual communities and preserve linguistic heritage.
