language and minority identity

Language and minority identity are interconnected in the sense that language can play a crucial role in shaping and preserving the identity of minority groups. Language can be a tool for expressing cultural heritage, values, and history, as well as fostering a sense of belonging and solidarity within a minority community. On the other hand, the suppression or loss of language can threaten the identity of a minority group, erasing centuries of knowledge, traditions, and unique perspectives. Language serves as a key marker of minority identity, influencing how individuals perceive themselves and how they are perceived by others.
