Language prestige planning refers to efforts made by language policymakers and institutions to promote a specific variety or form of a language as the standard or prestigious variety. This can involve promoting the use of specific dialects or standardizing language norms to elevate one form of the language over others in society. Language prestige planning often plays a role in shaping language attitudes and perceptions within a community or region.
