Abstract

Asian Societies with linguistic diversity have faced serious problems of loss or decline of vernacular and indigenous languages in modern times. Globalisation and urbanisation have brought a sea change in the pattern of language planning in education and its use in public domain. These have resulted in an augmented or exclusive focus on proficiency in international language like English, and as a result, education in or through regional or indigenous language has suffered a great setback. It has also adversely affected development of indigenous languages.
