Language Activism
Language activism is the effort to promote, preserve, and protect languages, especially those that are endangered or marginalized. Activists work to raise awareness about the importance of linguistic diversity and the cultural heritage that languages represent. They often advocate for the rights of speakers of minority languages and push for policies that support language education and revitalization.
This movement can involve various activities, such as organizing community events, creating educational resources, and collaborating with organizations like UNESCO to promote multilingualism. Language activists may also focus on specific languages, such as Welsh or Maori, to ensure their survival and continued use in everyday life.
