Linguistic discrimination

Linguistic discrimination is when people are treated differently because of the way they talk. It can happen when someone is judged or given fewer opportunities just because they don’t speak a certain language or speak it in a certain way. For example, if someone is from another country and speaks with an accent, they might be told they cannot do a certain job or be treated differently than someone who doesn’t have an accent. Linguistic discrimination can be unfair and hurtful, and it's important to make sure everyone is treated the same regardless of how they talk.
