Language policy refers to the decisions and strategies that governments or organizations implement regarding the use and promotion of languages within a specific area. This can include official languages, language education, and the rights of speakers of minority languages. The goal is often to foster communication, cultural identity, and social cohesion. Effective language policies can help preserve endangered languages and promote multilingualism. They may involve creating language programs in schools, providing translation services, or supporting media in various languages. By addressing language use, these policies aim to enhance understanding and cooperation among diverse linguistic communities.
