In India, one of the world’s most polyglot countries, the government wants more than a billion people to embrace Hindi. One scholar thinks that would be a loss.
So many regional languages suppressed by the Franco regime in Spain it’s amazing how in less than 50 years they’ve come back and are actively embraced by the younger generation. I appreciate the diversity even though my lizard brain won’t let me learn it.
Up in Catalunya (Barcelona) the dialect is very french-spanish influenced, (but don’t let anyone from there catch you saying it, lol) and Valenciano is a little less so.
Fuck no.

We French never took our regional languages back, although some areas are still fighting for theirs. So much culture lost.

Try one of the Language Transfer courses. They are lizard friendly.
