Meena (sociolinguistics)

Meena refers to a specific community and their language practices, particularly in the context of sociolinguistics— the study of how language varies and changes in social contexts. The Meena people are an indigenous group in India, primarily found in Rajasthan and parts of neighboring states. Their language, also called Meena, reflects their culture, social identity, and history. Sociolinguistically, studying the Meena language helps to understand issues like language preservation, cultural identity, and the impact of modern influences, such as education and migration, on traditional language use.
