Abstract
Languages, like human beings, have been adapting to the changes produced worldwide, and with this they have grown in number of speakers or disappeared forever from society. These changes are not given arbitrarily, but are conceived from politics and the State, where what should be the best for the speakers, nationalism and society permeates according to the statutes established by those in power. All this from an ethnocentric point of view, which denigrates what is different, what we do not understand, and therefore, we reject. This article analyzes the presence of languages in Mexico from a point of view related to identity, as well as linguistic policies and the reality that accompanies speakers, based on what is established by the State and institutional reforms in the 21st century, which give them authority and legitimacy based on their own power criteria.
