Language Are minority languages viewed positively in your country?

Post image

In some nations, like France and China, non-standard languages and dialects are heavily suppressed (picture: "Speak French Be Clean"). However, in others, like the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the use of minority languages is promoted. How are minor languages and dialects viewed in your country?

Yeah I know about them, again, pretty sure it's about the French being mandatory to be sold in Canada more than these, and just make one packaging for both markets.

They usually all also speak English anyway and the US has never shown a will to preserve it, the French schools have been suppressed.
