Well, let's look at it from a different perspective. Country A has two languages and the majority of its inhabitants are bilingual. A says that x language shouldn't be spoken because reasons. If people are already able to speak in y language, and only hold onto x language for cultural reasons, how is that preventing speakers of y language engaging or having any influence in the country?
This is why I don't understand any kind of independence movement like ETA or the FLQ that use language as one of its main reasons why they killed people.At that point, fuck them.
So....saying "you can't speak that language" is justification for murder? Does life have any value to you at all?
Because it's trying to force a group to abandon its culture.
