Language Sovereignty

Language Sovereignty is a theoretical construct in the field of language rights that denotes the inherent authority of a linguistic community to govern, preserve, and develop its language without external domination, thereby distinguishing it from related concepts by emphasizing self-determination as the foundational principle of linguistic autonomy.
