Language as a problem: Language policy and language rights in Kurdistan-Iran.

Jurnal: Etude Kurde, No: 13, 2019.

In this paper, I illustrate that the people of Iran do not enjoy equal [language] rights. Indeed, whereas Persian as the language of about 50% of the population is declared official, other languages have been marginalized and excluded from some of the most important domains within which languages can thrive, develop, and be validated, e.g., education and public administration. Despite Article 15 of the same constitution, which acknowledges Iran as a multilingual society, and 'allows' for the use of minoritized languages in the teaching of their literature and 'ethnic media', Persianization of the country remains the official language policy.
