Language Movement began in 1948 and reached its climax in the killing of 21 February 1952, and ended in the adoption of Bangla as one of the state languages of Pakistan.
After a lot of controversy over the language issue, the final demand from East Pakistan was that Bangla must be the official language and the medium of instruction in East Pakistan and for the central government it would be one of the state languages along with Urdu.
The movement also reiterated the earlier demand that Bangla be declared one of the state languages of Pakistan and the official language of East Pakistan.

 Revisiting Plain Language - Beth Mazur
For example, one definition states that plain language is "language that reflects the interests and needs of the reader and consumer rather than the legal, bureaucratic, or technological interests of the writer or of the organization that the writer represents" (Steinberg 1991, p.
The plain-language movement has also been active outside the U.S. "In 1982, the British government issued a White Paper (a policy statement) ordering departments for the first time to count their forms, abolish unnecessary ones, clarify the rest, and report their progress annually to the prime minister" (Cutts 1995, p.

language articles, she concluded that there can be no definitive conclusions about what whole language is, that descriptions of activities and strategies are not consistent, and that no concise definition of whole language exists.
The second path was to subject whole language writing to a critical analysis, not critical in the judgmental sense, but in the traditional literary criticism sense of taking seriously the language of the texts of the whole language movement.
The use of language is a rule-governed activity, and the persistent "natural" metaphors of the whole language movement obscure that fact.

The chief enemy of a Celtic revival today is the crushing force of capitalism which irresistibly destroys all national or racial characteristics, and by sheer stress of its economic preponderance reduces a Galway or a Dublin, a Lithuania or a Warsaw to the level of a mere second-hand imitation of Manchester or Glasgow.
Besides, it is well to remember that nations which submit to conquest or races which abandon their language in favour of that of an oppressor do so, not because of the altruistic motives, or because of a love of brotherhood of man, but from a slavish and cringing spirit.

 Language Policy -- U.S. History
Languages are best learned in a situation that forces one to do so — where there’s no escape from brutal necessity — unlike the situation in a bilingual classroom (reflexive appeal for ‘social issue’ conservatives).
Language has seldom functioned as a symbolic identifier in the United States, as an emblem of national pride or a badge of exclusivity.
Meanwhile, speakers of immigrant languages are on the increase, owing to relatively high levels of immigration.

 Impact of English Language Movement
Roots of the Official English and English-Only movements are apparent in xenophobic hostility during the early 1900s toward immigrants from southern and eastern Europe.
In the first two months of 1996, English language laws were introduced in Kansas, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island, as well as in many of the states that considered but failed to adopt these laws in 1995.
Even when urged as a merely symbolic expression of patriotism, English language laws are unsound because of their tangible impact on the development of consumer protection for language minorities.

 BBC News | WALES | Call for new language movement
He said that in order to ensure the dynamic growth of the Welsh language, a properly resourced strategy was needed, such as had been achieved successfully in areas such as Catalonia and the Basque country.
However, much of the growth is due to the numbers of schoolchildren acquiring Welsh as a second language due to the boom in bilingual schooling.
The number of areas of Wales where Welsh is the majority language - in north and west Wales - is still reducing, fuelling fears that the language may lose its capacity to produce new native speakers.
