Society for Minority and Indigenous Language Endorsement (SMILE)

[ilikeverin]

Attention!  Atenção!  Aandacht!  Askay!

Although based in the Guianas, SMILE supports the autonomy and language rights of all minority and indigenous peoples of the new South American republic.  Whether English-, Dutch-, Portuguese-, Quechua-, or other-speaking, SMILE stands up for your rights and your freedoms.  We stridently oppose any attempts to make Spanish the sole official language of South America, and support a strongly federalist state as a bulwark for the rights of the non-Spaniard majority.  Please join if you feel yourself motivated as such.

Does SMILE intend on advocating for actual simulation of regional government under a federal system?

Of course not!    We simply advocate for more power for our subnational units as a way to protect the cultural heritage of our former nations.

Rather than asking each party individually, SMILE would like to know how the different parties feel about minority language rights.
