National Language Policy

A National Language Policy outlines a country's approach to the languages spoken within it. It aims to recognize and promote the use of official languages for government, education, and communication, while respecting linguistic diversity. The policy balances preserving cultural identity with facilitating inclusivity and functional communication across different communities. It may designate one or more official languages, encourage multilingualism, and set guidelines to ensure language rights and effective use of languages in public life. Overall, it helps organize how languages are used to support national unity, cultural richness, and societal development.
