Definition

Ethnic linguistic segregation refers to the separation of different ethnic groups based on language, either through physical spaces or social mechanisms. This can manifest in various forms, such as communities where people of a particular ethnic group primarily speak their native language and tend to socialize within their own group, leading to limited interaction with other ethnic groups. This segregation can contribute to social division, lack of understanding, and cultural isolation among different ethnic groups.
