Hi Happy! Thanks for sharing your perspective. I really appreciated your take on the connections between colonialism and the mainstream adaptation of English in your home country. Even relating it to my home country, Brazil, I can also see some similarities to what you said. Growing up there, English was always prioritized as the second language the population should always strive to learn. It brought on this connotation that knowing English would get you further in life and provide with more opportunities. Although this does carry some truth, it does so for the exact same reasons you mentioned in your second paragraph. In addition, it had always seemed weird to me that we were more encouraged to learn the language of the Americans instead of that of the neighboring countries to Brazil who mostly speak Spanish. In thinking of your question towards linguistic justice, I believe that centering indigenous voices and languages could be good first steps as these groups of people were the first victims of the cruelty of colonialism.
