INTRODUCTION
• They include the right to speak one’s own language in legal, administrative and judicial
acts, the right to receive education in one’s own language, and the right for media to be
broadcast in one’s own language.
• Language in education policy derives from the Indian Constitution which guarantees
linguistic rights to all citizens; most importantly, members of minority groups (both
religious and linguistic) are granted a special right to be educated in their mother
tongue.
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS ON
LANGUAGE RIGHTS
CHALLENGES TO LANGUAGE RIGHTS
• There are several challenges and problems faced by language rights. One common
issue is linguistic discrimination, where certain languages are marginalized or
stigmatized, leading to unequal access to resources and opportunities.
• Another problem is language endangerment, where languages are at risk of becoming
extinct due to factors like globalization, migration, and language shift.
• Limited access to education and public services in minority languages can also pose a
challenge.

PROMOTING AND PROTECTING OF
LANGUAGE RIGHTS
In more recent history, language rights movements have
emerged to address the issues of language rights and
advocate for the recognition and protection of minority
languages. These movements have sought to secure
language rights through legal frameworks, policies, and
grassroots activism.
