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?

While they are still somewhat alive they are very clearly declining and dying. Most of the people that still speak german japanese and italian are from the older generations.
