keeletasuses

Keeletasuses is a term used to describe a state of linguistic equilibrium or stability within a speech community. It refers to the condition where a language, or languages, are being used and transmitted across generations without significant disruption or threat of extinction. This concept emphasizes the sustained vitality and functional integrity of a language in its social context. A key aspect of keeletasuses is the active use of the language in various domains of life, including the home, education, media, and public administration.

Factors contributing to keeletasuses include a sufficient number of speakers, positive attitudes towards the language, and its institutional support. When a language is thriving, it effectively serves the communication needs of its speakers and can adapt to changing social and technological environments. Conversely, a lack of keeletasuses can indicate language endangerment, where a language is at risk of disappearing due to factors such as language shift to a more dominant language, lack of intergenerational transmission, or socio-economic pressures. The study of keeletasuses is important for understanding language vitality and developing strategies for language maintenance and revitalization.
