The Present Status, Identity and Identity Crisis Facing by the Ethnic Languages

According to the Oxford Dictionary language is the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in an agreed way; and the word ethnic denotes origin by birth or descent rather than nationality, it very much relates to race or culture. India is a country comprising of several states. People belonging to different races, cultures, traditions and languages etc. form what is called India. In order to meet these differences and gaps our constitution has adopted only one language as the official language. But it solely depends upon every individual society to maintain and preserve its own identity and the constitution does not have any restriction regarding this. The present status of some of our ethnic languages is nearing extinction -------------------- the cause can never be some outer elements or factors. The Identity and Identity Crisis faced by some ethnic languages are due to politicization --------------- where one results in ethnic conflicts and the other leads to the finding of a solution by advocates of law.
