France, for instance, has a national policy against the recognition of domestic minority languages like Basque, Breton and Corsican.
Trying to give France the benefit of the doubt, but this just sounds like oppression. Is there a good reason France doesn’t recognize minority languages in its territory?

France’s history with minority cultures is… Not good, to say the least.
The official reason is that they want to unite the country in one language, such that people are together, not divided.
The actual reason is “lmao get rekt learn french u peasant” but in French.
What about countries where no language has a majority only a plurality? Does the French govt just assume those countries don’t speak any language?
They assume that’s their chance for everyone to learn French.
