Isi artikel

Linguistic human rights (LHRs) are analysed as one type of human right, reflecting an inalienable norm. Rights are needed for speakers of dominated languages, who individually and collectively experience linguistic 'wrongs', marginalization, and ultimately the extinction of the languages. Work in promoting LHRs in many international for a is reviewed, including various associations of applied linguists. The extent to which LHRs are protected in existing covenants is assessed, particularly in UN declarations and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, and in some national constitutions. Respect for LHRs, in particular the right to education through the medium of the mother tongue, is seen as a means to contribute to a reduction in societal conflict. It is therefore a challenge to applied linguists to see how education systems can contribute to the promotion of more just multilingual societies.
