"If you cannot maintain a high level of socio-functional use of a language, the language itself is put at risk"

"Hizkuntza gutxitu bizirik iraun dezan geografia bat behar du: hizkuntza belaunaldiz belaunaldi birsortzen den espazio sozial bat. Arnasguneak ez dira hizkuntza-politikaren beste atal bat, hizkuntza-komunitatearen bizitasunaren oinarrietako bat dira" naziogintza.eus/conchur-o-gi…

En un article publicat aquesta setmana, @ConchurOG i Brian Ó Curnáin (@EURAC) defensen que la pèrdua de diversitat lingüística mundial s’hauria d’abordar amb una perspectiva comparable a la que s’aplica a la crisi ecològica: eurac.edu/en/blogs/midas/urg…. Anem sumant veus.

Our thanks to @heraldscotland. OpEd on Areas of Linguistic Significance published today #Gaelic: bit.ly/4i4bmSi "Minority languages treated as a heritage toy of majority cultures rarely prosper. Practical sociolinguistic measures are preferable to wishful thinking."

Here are the two things Scotland must do to give Gaelic a chance of survival

The proposed designation of the entire Highland Council region as an Area of Linguistic Significance (ALS) for Gaelic demonstrates the central weakness of the Scottish Languages Act 2025.

Unfortunately, having millions of speakers is not necessarily a defence against the social and political forces of minoritisation and colonisation. Even large groups can succumb to these processes if they do not rally their political resources to protect themselves

Aquí un sociolingüista irlandès que fa anys que ho explica, en contra de les tesis mainstream de l'acadèmia. El poder del català no és ni ha estat mai comparable al de l'irlandès. Ara bé, això no ens fa immunes a les dinàmiques sociolingüístiques en contextos de minorització

A reasonable question from @astridbierge

@astridbiergeJun 10
Les polítiques lingüístiques han de canviar d'objectiu. Hem de deixar de preguntar-nos què hauríem de fer perquè els altres aprenguin català i hem de començar a pensar què cal fer perquè nosaltres puguem viure en català. Divendres penjarem l'acte sencer.
