Language Equality

Language Equality is a theoretical construct within the field of linguistic human rights that denotes the principle ensuring all languages possess equal legal, social, and institutional status, value, and opportunity for use, thereby distinguishing it from related concepts by its focus on systemic parity rather than mere tolerance or accommodation of linguistic diversity.
