Language rights

A legal claim to use and transmit a language in education, administration, courts or public life.

Explanation

A legal claim to use and transmit a language in education, administration, courts or public life. Translates linguistic belonging into enforceable participation and makes intelligibility a matter of equality and dignity.

Example

A court provides interpretation so that understanding does not depend on command of the dominant language.

Counterexample

A mere label without the described formal, cultural or conceptual movement.

Distinction

Distinguish from Menschenrechte; the neighbour remains connected as a crossway.

Effect on thought and perception

Translates linguistic belonging into enforceable participation and makes intelligibility a matter of equality and dignity.

Resonance

Translates linguistic belonging into enforceable participation and makes intelligibility a matter of equality and dignity.
