Which article are you evaluating?
Linguistic discrimination

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it is closely linked to the issue of language death/extinction. We've learned in class that the most common way languages die is by gradually falling out of use as generations pass; this is often influenced by linguistic discrimination towards less common languages/dialects within a culture.

The central point of the article is to highlight issues and occasions of linguistic discrimination. In the talk page, it was noted in 2020 that there was significantly more content concerning western countries compared to non-western countries. There was an effort to add more discussion about other regions, but there still lies a disparity between the two.
