Linguapax advises the Government of Paraguay on the draft of a new law of language policy

The Linguapax Institute, in collaboration with the Institute Ramon Llull, has advised the Government of Paraguay in the drafting of a law on language policy that is to be debated at the Parliament of that country. Last March, Fèlix Martí, president of the Scientific Committee, and Josep Cru, secretary general of Linguapax, were invited by the National Commission on Bilingualism of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Paraguay to help preparing the first law on language policy and planning. The Constitution of Paraguay (1992) recognizes both Guarani and Spanish as official languages. However, there is no law on language planning yet that develops the use of Guarani and the other authochtonous languages of Paraguay in the different domains.
