Linguistic Chauvinism refers to the act that any community considers thier language tobe superior over other languages
Explanation:
Our language is our identity. Language binds the nation (the people) or it draws a line of demarcation between them. It's a convenient way of communicating with one another. Nowadays people do not show due respect to their mother tongue especially because of the influence of westernization.
For over centuries outsiders have tried to invade the other countries & in doing so they have found that the best way of manipulating native people's minds against their own country is to take away their strongest weapon "“their mother tongue. Be it the Germans imposing German language on the French after Prussian war or Indians' Hindi language being chained in shackles by the British, it has always been "language" bearing the bitter repercussions. People become oblivious to their language & eventually lose nationalism.
Chauvinism dwells in hearts of people who are passionately in love with their own language but they disrespect other foreign languages. Thus they oppress their language over the others. To become a true nation lover, every individual needs to hold immense respect for his /her language but to create a harmonious world; everyone should embrace all the languages with a warm heart.
Every word, every thought, every expression needs nothing but a LANGUAGE.
