linguistic minorities

Linguistic minorities are groups within a larger population that speak a different language or dialect from the majority. They may have their own distinct language, cultural practices, and traditions. These groups often face challenges in maintaining their language and identity, especially if their language isn’t officially recognized or supported. Recognizing and respecting linguistic minorities is important for cultural diversity, social cohesion, and human rights, ensuring they can communicate, preserve their heritage, and participate fully in society.
