Language standardization is the process of developing and promoting a specific form of a language that is considered the norm for communication, education, and official use. This often involves creating rules for grammar, spelling, and pronunciation, which helps ensure consistency and clarity in language use.
Standardization can lead to the establishment of a standard dialect, which is often based on the language spoken in a particular region or by a specific group. This process can also influence literature, media, and education, as standardized language is typically used in textbooks, news broadcasts, and formal writing.
