Linguistic Human Rights

Linguistic Human Rights refer to the fundamental freedoms individuals have to use their native languages without fear of discrimination or marginalization. These rights ensure people can speak, write, and access education and government services in their own language, preserving cultural identity and promoting equal participation in society. Essentially, they protect the linguistic diversity of communities, acknowledging that language is a vital part of personal and cultural identity. Recognizing these rights helps prevent the suppression of minority languages and supports social inclusion, dignity, and cultural preservation for all linguistic groups.
