Minority language

A minority language is a language that is spoken by a smaller group of people in a particular place or country. For example, in some countries, the main language spoken by most people may be English, but there may be other languages that are spoken by small groups of people in certain regions or communities.

Think of it like this: Imagine you are in a big playground with lots of kids. Most of the kids only speak English, but there are some who speak other languages like Spanish, French, or Mandarin. These languages are spoken by a smaller group of kids in the playground, so they are called "minority" languages.

Sometimes, minority languages are not as widely used as the dominant language, which means they may not have as many resources or support. This can make it hard for those who speak the minority language to communicate with others or access information.

However, it is important to remember that all languages are valuable and important, no matter how many people speak them. It is important to respect and preserve minority languages, as they are a rich part of our cultural diversity.
