English and Sustainable Languages: Collective Consciousness in Bangladesh

Abstract

In modern times, sustainability plays an important role, a fact which is also valid in sociolinguistic studies. The comparison of English to other languages in Bangladesh is examined from the point of view of sustainability. It has not yet been established whether the English language is sustainable or not in the context of Bangladesh and around the world. Most studies on sustainable development neglect the relationship between sustainability and a particular country’s language. The purpose of this work is to expand our knowledge of how to measure sustainable language based on specific indicators. The research first explored the development of English in Bangladesh, sustainable language and collective consciousness. Overall, these results suggest the sustainability of Bangladesh’s different languages. Ultimately, this article is intended to contribute to a new perspective on the English language in Bangladesh and sociolinguistics in general. The findings should make an important contribution to the field of sustainable language.
