Description

Language is a crucial component of national identity, and the acceptance of diverse languages within a society can contribute to social equality. In Australia, a society of immigrants, a continuing tension has existed since the nineteenth century between a desire for monolingualism, often a result of xenophobic policies of enforced assimilation, and an acceptance of multilingualism reflecting increased tolerance. At the present time, without even considering the 150 Aboriginal languages still spoken, Australia has an unparalleled mix of languages other than English in common usage. These are often described by the term "community languages". Drawing on census data and other statistics, this book addresses the current situation of community languages in Australia, analysing which are spoken, by whom and where. Community languages: The Australian experience focusses on three main issues:. how languages other than English are maintained in a predominantly English speaking environment;. how the structure of the languages themselves has changed over the years;. how the government has responded to such ethnolinguistic diversity, with particular emphasis on Australia's unique National Language Policy. At a time of unprecedented awareness of these languages within society and realisation of the importance of multilingualism in the commercial world, this book makes a significant contribution to understanding the role of community languages in both the shaping and the future of Australian society.
