minority language advocacy
Minority language advocacy involves supporting and promoting languages spoken by smaller groups within a society. It aims to preserve these languages, which may be endangered due to factors like globalization and dominant language policies. Advocates work for policies that protect linguistic heritage, ensure access to education and media in minority languages, and raise awareness about their cultural importance. The goal is to enable speakers of minority languages to maintain their linguistic identity and participate fully in society, fostering cultural diversity and preventing language extinction.
