Can you live in your country (have a job, pay taxes, buy a house, raise kids) without using the official language of the state? In mine is not possible.
These communities existed before today, and seemed to be doing fine.
The fact people can learn and use a language, without being raised to consider it their primary language, is what you think you’re arguing. It would be nice if you meant anything by it besides “nuh uh.”
Are you guys okay? You just say shit to air your mouth?
Can you integrate into Germany without ever speaking German? Can you integrate in France without ever speaking French? Can you integrate in the US without ever speaking English?
At one point you will have to learn the official language of the state you live in, you can keep yours but for material and technical purposes (think about the fkn taxes comon man!) you NEED to know at least the OFFICIAL language of the country.
How the fuck is this controversial?
This is basic shit good lord.
Yes, like American bigots screaming ‘love it or leave it,’ and ‘stand for the flag, kneel for the cross,’ or other demands to adopt an identity rooted in American nationality with allegiance to ethnic majority culture.
The ones trying to make the majority language the only official primary language, even in communities where yeehaw jingoism has done considerable damage, or outright stolen entire nations’ worth of land.
The ones eager to project that, globally, as if sovereignty is when you get to say what people do in other countries.
The same right wings that tells you to hate brown people? These unity talk you mean? 🫤
The same one talking about ethnic unity within their preferred groups yeah
Within and among are different words in English with different meanings but ok.
I’m guessing it’s a translation issue since the law mandates using Mandarin etc
Yes, as a main language not as only language. Again here English language did a trick ehehe sneaky little education…
You’re saying it’s fine because they’re forcing it as just the main language and not the only one…?

In mine it very much is, and it’s extremely common.

Definitely yeah. Are you saying you shouldn’t be able to do that or wdym
