Abstract
The article discusses the division of languages as separate entity in a linguistic and
sociopolitical sense. The basic premise in our argumentation is that language is an
unmonolitic phenomenon; a system in which subsystems coexist; we can consider
each language as a continuum of other (sub) languages that in certain sociological and
historical circumstances are distinguished as separate entities. The distinction
language versus dialect often grows in distinction ancestor language versus the
descendant language. One of the factors for this growth is the interruption in the
communication within the speech community, which can be caused by the
displacement / migration of (a part of) the community, the establishment of state
borders and / or geographical barriers. The stratification of the language is in its
nature. Language is closely related to the concept of nation and is a factor of identity.
Standard language is a separate language entity (a sociolect) that is closely related to
the emergence and existence of the state. The process of codification of a language as
an official language of a state, can begin as a process much earlier than its official
acceptance and implementation.A significant concept in the existence of a standard
language is the concept of language status. The status of a language do not depend
exclusively, or even necessarily, on any official or legal status conferred by a state
through its executive, legislative, or judicial branches.This is the minimum required.
The central elements in achieving language status are in some ways non-linguistic
and supralegal (requiring more than a legal decisions). This includes aesthetic,
ideological and psychological factors). Considering language changes in a linguistic
and sociohistorical context, we can reasonably conclude that the denial of the right to
the existence of a language as a separate entity has a political rather than a linguistic
motivation.
