Ethnic And Linguistic Diversity

From the first days of the Euromaidan protests, Ukrainian diasporas around the globe took an active part in supporting democratic change in Ukraine. These diasporic communities actively used social media to “represent” their national identity, to promote their visions of Ukraine’s past and future, and to network and coordinate their actions. This paper argues that the events of the Euromaidan made Ukrainian diasporas in Western countries “re-invent” and “re-imagine” their national belonging. In these processes historical memory, language, and regional identifications play a crucial part within the continuum between conservative ethnonationalist identities and “civic” ones that try to accommodate the ethnic and linguistic diversity of Ukraine in the diasporic setting. This study reveals that “civic” identity elements became more visible across Ukrainian diasporas, but that Russian aggression somewhat haltered the acceptance of diversity and reinforced previously existing conservative sentiments.

Ethnic And Linguistic Diversity

In Latin America, intercultural education aims to acknowledge the cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity of its citizens, and to advance the efforts to dismantle the oppression of such diversity, particularly that of Indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples. While discussions of intercultural education often reference such peoples as their target beneficiaries, too few studies addressing the professional development of teachers recognize the importance of Indigenous scholarship, pedagogies and methodologies themselves as resources for the advancement of the theory and practice of intercultural education. This article engages in theoretical reflection in order to highlight well-documented Indigenous methodologies for teaching and learning, and their implications for professional development for enriched intercultural education. The authors emphasize the need for greater attention to the work and scholarship of intercultural and Indigenous university graduates to lead the way in the development of intercultural education professionals.

RESUMO Cele al alia lingvopolitiko en Sudano La aǔtoro mallonge priskribas la lingvan situacion en Sudano cele al evidentigo de la etna kaj lingva diverseco, kiu karakterizas tiun landon. Li montras la efektivan korelacion inter la uzado de tiuj lingvoj kaj ekonomiaj, politikaj kaj sociaj faktoroj, por tiel trabati la limigitan kadron de ellistigo de lingvoj kaj parolantoj, kiu estas tro kutima en studoj de multlingveco. Li krome emfazas la gravecon de la nocio de vehikuleco kiel objektiva donitaĵo se oni volas mezuri la veran naturon de lingva diverseco. Pro tio, li traktas la arabajn dialektojn de la nordo same kiel tiujn de la sudo, kie la situacio ŝajnas esti aparte komplika. Fine, la procedo de arabigo de la lando estas esplorata por substreki la ligon inter la lingva kaj religia faktoroj kaj la efiko de tiu procedo je la parolantoj de indiĝenaj lingvoj. Konklude, la aütoro proponas lingvan politikon, kiu, prenante en konsideron la plurlingvan karakteron de la sudana socio, celas al starigo de ekvilibro inter la diversaj etnaj komponentoj de la lando. SUMMARY Toward a Different Language Policy in the Sudan The author provides a brief description of the language situation in the Sudan to show its ethnic and linguistic diversity. Departing from the prevailing tendency in studies of multilingualism, namely, the narrow enumeration of languages and speakers, he examines the actual correlation between language use and economic, political, and social factors. He stresses the importance of the notion of vehicular language as an objective means of measuring the true nature of linguistic diversity. Thus he includes in his study the Arabic dialects of the north as well as those of the south, where the situation seems particularly complicated. Finally, the process of the arabization of the country is studied to underline the link between linguistic and religious factors and the impact of this process on speakers of the vernacular. The author concludes by recommending a language policy that would take the multilingual character of Sudanese society into consideration and would aim for the establishment of an equilibrium among the various ethnic elements in the country.

State Language

In accordance with the Constitution and the Law of Ukraine on Languages, de jure Ukraine is a monolingual state. However, Ukraine de facto is multilingual. The Ukrainian state language policy would like to solve the discrepancy between the de jure and the de facto situation in such a way that the language situation of the country should be harmonized with the codified legal situation. Namely, the unspoken aim is to turn Ukraine into a practically monolingual, a de facto Ukrainian-speaking state. Education is seen as ideal means to achieve these aims. At the given paper this will be supported by a lot of evidence. Thus, Ukraine,instead of fostering the present day ethnic and linguistic diversity, pursues the state model that is colourful from the ethnic point of view but homogeneous linguistically. The data presented in this study highlight the fact that this process involves heavy losses also for the Hungarian minority in Transcarpathia

Ethnic And Linguistic Diversity

The dispersal of the Romance language family by the Roman Empire is an attractive model for examining the spread of Quechua. Wari and Tiwanaku are often considered the first Andean empires, during the Middle Horizon (cal. ad 650–1050). Despite being contemporaries sharing the same religious iconography, they were unlikely to have spoken and dispersed the same language. Tiwanaku material culture rather implies ethnic and linguistic diversity, not least in its best-documented colonization in Moquegua. Wari, meanwhile, appears culturally and administratively unified, colonizing and controlling a territory across southern Peru, from Cuzco to Nasca. If Wari was responsible for a language dispersal, then this should represent its core territory; and it is indeed the heart of Southern Quechua. In northern Peru, Wari presence seems less intense, its rule more complex and indirect. The Moche region remained essentially beyond Wari influence, while for the central coast and distant Aguada culture more research is needed.

Abstract The article investigates the creation of language statistics in the Sudan, from the beginning of the twentieth century up to the division of the country into two states. Like many other African countries, Sudan is characterized by a high degree of ethnic and linguistic diversity that has participated in the fueling of murderous civil wars since independence. The article recontextualizes the construction of the ethno-linguistic categories and statistics within their broader political and administrative contexts. It analyzes the objectives and output of each type of statistics and questions their influence on the foreign and native representations of Sudanese society.
