Language discrimination occurs when individuals are treated unfairly based on the language they speak or their accent. This can happen in various settings, such as workplaces, schools, or public services, where people may face bias or exclusion due to their linguistic background. Such discrimination can affect a person's opportunities, self-esteem, and social interactions. It often targets speakers of minority languages or those with non-native accents, leading to negative stereotypes and assumptions about their abilities or intelligence. Addressing language discrimination is essential for promoting equality and inclusivity in diverse societies.
