Comment on Is there a word in English to describe someone who wants to preserve a (minority) culture against erosion from a majority culture?

  Economic connotations with that last one.

  My “no wrong answers” assurances are looking pretty hilarious at this point.

    yes. i had nothing but wrong answers 😅

    maybe this can help:

    A treasure language is one of the thousands of small languages still spoken in the world today. The term was proposed by the Rama people of Nicaragua as an alternative to heritage language, indigenous language, and “ethnic language”, names that are considered pejorative in the local context. The term is now also used in the context of public storytelling events.

    The term “treasure language” references the desire of speakers to sustain the use of their mother tongue into the future

  Preservationism has already been mentioned. Or “heterogenous” culture (also often called multiculturalism, but the latter term also have a lot of history which might not apply)

  Nationalism could work if you add a spin on it to separate yourself from the right wing nuts. Combining it with some other word such as socialism could be better?
