Streszczenie:The relationship between language, politics and territory organization is an issue that I find tremendously complex and deserves to be studied at all levels. Similarly, the mode the different governmental institutions across the world have resorted to language with the purpose of keeping hegemony is a fact that should be analyzed and understood in order to establish a fairer balance between communities and community members. In this vein, nations have made of language a mighty tool to preserve the nations´statuo quo, but unfortunately, it has also helped with the purpose of segregating people within societies. Roughly speaking, we now can find the prestige language – the language used by ruling class which most of the times turned out to be the standard language, and the minority language(s) - the language used by ruled communities.
