Linguistic purism or linguistic protectionism is the practice of defining or recognizing one variety of a language as being purer or of intrinsically higher quality than other varieties. Linguistic purism was institutionalized through language academies (of which the 1572 Accademia della Crusca set a model example in Europe), and their decisions often have the force of law.
The perceived or actual decline identified by the purists, may take the form of change of vocabulary, syncretism of grammatical elements, or loanwords. Linguistic purism is a form of prescriptive linguistics. The unwanted similarity is often with a neighboring language whose speakers are culturally or politically dominant. The abstract ideal may invoke logic, clarity, or the grammar of "classic" languages. It is often presented as conservative, as a "protection" of a language from the "aggression" of other languages or of "conservation" of the nationalVolkgeist, but is often innovative in defining a new standard. It is sometimes part of governmental language policy which is enforced in various ways.
Linguistic purism is a sociolinguistic phenomenon characterized by the advocacy for preserving a language in what its proponents consider its "pure" form, often by discouraging the use of foreign borrowings, neologisms, or any elements deemed corrupt or undesirable.
Linguistic purism can also be deeply intertwined with socio-economic perceptions, including an aversion to being perceived as "poor."
For example there is a stigma against using the word "ain't", it is a real word. People say it. People write it. And it has a meaning that everyone understands. But for whatever reason, it isn’t considered a ‘proper’ word to be used formally.

The Icelandic Language "digital extinction" ?
In a world dominated by English-language products and technology, Iceland and its people are fighting to keep their Icelandic language learning relevant.
Most digital devices only work in a handful of languages, for Icelandic to remain relevant online — Big tech needs to be on board and Iceland needs a vocabulary that evolves with modern times. To do this the Icelandic language board of linguists are creating new words from old Icelandic Viking roots.
The Icelandic government efforts could hold lessons for the 3,500 languages set to disappear over the next few generations.

Linguistic purism is a sociolinguistic phenomenon characterized by the advocacy for preserving a language in what its proponents consider its "pure" form, often by discouraging the use of foreign borrowings, neologisms, or any elements deemed corrupt or undesirable.
Linguistic purism can also be deeply intertwined with socio-economic perceptions, including an aversion to being perceived as "poor."
For example there is a stigma against using the word "ain't", it is a real word. People say it. People write it. And it has a meaning that everyone understands. But for whatever reason, it isn’t considered a ‘proper’ word to be used formally.

Charles was certainly not alone in his wish for linguistic purism, for “proper” English to be protected and preserved – though he was perhaps a little late to the idea.
Share. Tweet. Print. Ed. note ...Welsh livestock drovers, author supplied ... This is more than linguistic purism; this is what happens when an entire food culture is subsumed by the industrial food machine of the modern Western world ... Teaser photo credit ... Share.
KARACHI ... The third exclusionary facet of the language did not just have to do with Hindus or non-Urdu speakers, but it also related to those whose mother tongue was not Urdu – Punjabis, Bengalis, Sindhis etc – who had to face linguistic purism ... .
