Question

what do you understand by linguistic community

Answer 1

A speech community is a group of people who share a set of linguistic norms and expectations with regard to how their language should be used. Exactly how to define speech community is debated in the literature.

Answer 2

Linguistic diversity is sometimes a specific measure of the density of language, or concentration of unique languages together. This diversity covers varied types of traits including language family, grammar, and vocabulary. The linguistic diversity of a place, like a country or locale, can be rendered as a numerical measurement, called the linguistic diversity index. The index gives the probability that any given people will not share a first language. The number then ranges from 0, meaning everyone speaks the same language, to 1, meaning no languages are shared.
