Linguistic Rights Law
Linguistic Rights Law refers to legal frameworks that protect the rights of individuals and communities to use their native languages. These laws aim to ensure that people can communicate, receive education, and access public services in their preferred language, promoting cultural diversity and inclusion.
Such laws often arise in multilingual societies where different language groups coexist. They may be influenced by international agreements, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which emphasizes the importance of language rights. Countries may implement specific policies to safeguard the linguistic rights of minority groups, ensuring their languages are recognized and valued.
