民族语言教育权的提出与保护

The Proposal and Protection of National Language Education Right

少数民族地区公民所享有的民族语言文字权利是我国《宪法》规定的重要权利之一,语言权利的保障事关民族文化和语言文字的多样性,有助于促进民族交流和融合。我国《宪法》于总纲中明确规定了各民族有使用和发展本民族语言文字的自由,民族语言文字也是非物质文化遗产所保护的范畴,然而,接受民族语言教育则是保护和发展民族语言文字的重要基础。因此,提出民族语言教育权利不仅具有充分的法律依据,而且有助于促进民族语言文字的使用和发展。

The right of spoken and written languages of ethnic minorities in the ethnic minorities regions is not only one of the essential basic rights protected by international conventions and national laws, but also an important right to protect the diversities of nationalities, languages and culture. The constitution of China specifies that each nationality has the right to use and develop its own language and that it is an important foundation for the use and development of ethnic minorities’ languages to receive education of their own language. Therefore, the proposition for the right of education of ethnic minorities’ languages not only enjoy sufficient legal basis, but also contributes to the language use and development,in order to guarantee the language education right.
