Good work. Nice to see such great pages here. -- Bhadani ( talk) 18:34, 28 June 2008 (UTC) should the Quebec language law and the issues francophones historically had in Canada here? Tydoni ( talk) 04:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
"Written language only" is viable option for deaf or HoH who cannot or do not want to sign or read lips. I am legally deaf (severe hyperacusis). Officials coming to my residence ignored door sign requesting written language only. I cannot understand otherwise. I insist that officials coming on official business use written language not oral language. The defense attorney tried to force us to have an "oral" argument and I objected. The judge ruled that in order for us to be on "equal footing" we would have 100% written language, because I indicated that is a primary language pursuant to 42 USC §12182(b) (2) (A) (iii). The US Department of Justice has litigated this issue in the context of ASL and native languages, not written languages. See language litigation for my work on this topic. -- Abby Jo Ovitsky -- 98.246.178.146 ( talk) 04:36, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

There is a heavy focus on the linguistic discrimination against users of spoken languages, while the linguistic discrimination against d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing people who use sign languages seems to be underrepresented. The belief that spoken languages are superior to sign languages has dominated society for years, resulting in the isolation and language deprivation of numerous d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals. For years, doctors discouraged parents from allowing their deaf kids to learn American Sign Language. Schools for the Deaf, in addition, banned the use of American Sign Language in favor of oralism. Forced to speak and read lips at home and at school, young d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing children faced communication barriers, unable to fully understand others and unable to fully express themselves. American Sign Language was not recognized as a true, complete language until the 1960's, and today, there is still debate among high schools and colleges as to whether it should count for foreign language credit. The effects of linguistic discrimination on the education and livelihood of d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing people should be sufficiently explained. -- Cykresge ( talk) 19:57, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

I am interested in editing this article as part of a class I'm taking on poverty, justice and human capabilities. I have noticed that there is significantly more discussion about Canadian, American and European examples of linguistic discrimination, and so am thinking about expanding on the examples of linguistic discrimination in non-western countries, including previously colonized countries such as Nigeria, and linguistically diverse countries such as India. Please let me know what you think! Emmaaa00 ( talk) 07:30, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
I'll be working on editing this article as part of a class I'm taking on poverty, justice and human capabilities. As mentioned above, I have noticed that there is significantly more discussion about Canadian, American and European examples of linguistic discrimination, and so am thinking about exploring examples of linguistic discrimination in non-western countries. More specifically, I'm interested in the relationship between colonization and linguistic discrimination, and am hoping to explore the impacts of these factors on class, education and governance in "post-colonial" societies. I've posted on a more detailed proposal on my talk page. Please let me know what you think! Emmaaa00 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:16, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
I'm currently working on adding a new section on the impacts of colonization on linguistic discrimination throughout the world, and have a draft of a possible section in my Sandbox. Let me know what you think! —Preceding undated comment added 02:53, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Emma! I was really impressed by how comprehensive and well-written your contributions were. Your expansion of non-Western examples of linguistic discrimination greatly enhanced the article's coverage of the subject. The contributions that demonstrated its relationship with colonialism was also thorough and helpful to better understand the subject. I think one way to improve the article would be to rely less on using direct quotations from the sources you cited. These can improve the readability of the article by replacing quotations with more direct summary. I also think if you wanted, you could shorten some of the titles of your sections and subsections. Your current titles provide a lot of specificity, which is helpful. However, they are also quite long, which also distorts the flow of the article a bit. Adding some more images can also enhance the article, especially for visual learners. Overall, great job on the article! Amymu123 ( talk) 04:32, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Why are my edits rolled back? I at least leave links. There were simply unfounded accusations from the category of "evil Russian fascists infringing on oppressed national minorities." In Russia there are national republics in which all national minorities have privileges and even dominate the Russians in these republics. Russians in Ukraine cannot even dream of such a thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Александр Ашкаров ( talk • contribs) 06:06, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Entire section is full of generalizing, conspiratorial claims and anti-medicine bias, but the paragraph below in particular. Which is of no surprise when knowing about a streak within the deaf community which is more concerned about preserving its "culture" than with the quality of life of both its members and deaf people without any desire to be a part of said "culture". Especially the children, whose hearing parents are presented as, at best, uncultured and gullible rubes, falling for doctors' tricks and at worst co-conspirators in a "genocide".
But seriously, if someone is using terms like "genocide" when speaking of a prosthesis - that is not an issue with the prosthesis, that is an issue with speaker's issues.
Reading the text below one would think that there is a "doctors' plot" against the deaf people, ASL and the "benefits of ... the Deaf Community".
In the medical community, there is immense bias against deafness and ASL. This stems from the belief that spoken languages are superior to sign languages.[55] Because 90% of deaf babies are born to hearing parents, who are usually unaware of the existence of the Deaf Community, they often turn to the medical community for guidance.[56] Medical and audiological professionals, who are typically biased against sign languages, encourage parents to get a cochlear implant for their deaf child in order for the child to use spoken language.[55] Research shows, however, that deaf kids without cochlear implants acquire ASL with much greater ease than deaf kids with cochlear implants acquire spoken English. In addition, medical professionals discourage parents from teaching ASL to their deaf kid to avoid compromising their English[57] although research shows that learning ASL does not interfere with a child's ability to learn English. In fact, the early acquisition of ASL proves to be useful to the child in learning English later on. When making a decision about cochlear implantation, parents are not properly educated about the benefits of ASL or the Deaf Community.[56] This is seen by many members of the Deaf Community as cultural and linguistic genocide.[57] 109.175.104.232 ( talk) 07:25, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
Is French descriminated against in Quebec?

I am interested in doing a sub-page about linguistic discrimination in America for my class. This page, I believe, will cover some linguistic discrimination, such Spanish-English tension and Asian languages tensions. I will also probably add the history and reasons of how these institutions evolved. I would also like to introduce how different dialects in the US are confronting with each other.

HRSun04, I appreciate your contributions to this article. I was impressed with your ability to add to such a range of topics. You also added missing information to important central ideas. Some suggestions to improve your edits would be adding more credible, relevant sources. There seemed to be a couple statements made that did not cite a reference. Another thing that would be beneficial to focus on would be grammar and sentence structure. The most important thing to work on would be to make sure all your edits have a neutral tone with credible references. Overall, you are working in the right direction and I look forward to seeing how your work progresses! Miele17 ( talk) 04:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
HRSun04, I think your edits have expanded the article with relevant information. Your work has added more context to the article and extended the awareness for people groups that are affected by linguistic discrimination. I would look into adding more credible, scholarly sources and making sure all your additions are cited. I would also urge you to revise the structure of the article to make it flow better. Also, proofreading grammar, and spelling, and maintaining a neutral tone are something you should look out for as you edit this article. Overall, you have done a lot of work and I look forward to seeing how you refresh that work. Amraamir9 ( talk) 20:35, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
