5 language rights
Language right is the right of individuals to use the language of their choice, either their minor language
or the majority's language. It is quite a recent concept, and actual language rights enshrined in law are
few.
In education, the government should provide public education in the language of people's choice, even
though it is the minority. There is the fact that a particular minority within a given country might not be a
minority at all within a given part of that country. The fact that languages belong to people, not to places.
Language rights also cover every interchange involving a governmental or public agency. The courtroom
is probably the place where 'language rights' have proceeded. The presence of official courtroom
interpreters is need because differences between legal systems sometimes need to be bridged.
Kymlicka starts from the position that the most just solution would be equal language rights for all groups
within a nation-state in every sphere (education, government, broadcasting, etc.). Kymlicka concludes
that justice nevertheless demands multilingual language rights in every nation.
Kymlicka's model allows for a moral balance between the interests of justice and security. He defends
language 'purification' laws. However, language purification laws have always come in tandem with
movements for racial purification, in the most extreme cases through genocide. Other questionable
aspects of Kymlicka's position include the fact that the language rights of 'indigenous' minorities have a
stronger claim to moral legitimacy. However, nations remain the cornerstone of Kymlicka's thinking, and
his conclusions depend upon our acceptance of their persistence.
