A new rule to increment discrimination

Context:

Public healthcare is one of the places where the most Catalanophobic interactions are reported. In 4 years, more than 100 Catalan speakers have reported that they have been denied healthcare or otherwise discriminated against for speaking Catalan, or were unable to access any healthcare in Catalan in a Catalan-speaking territory.

From disabled people who only speak Catalan being refused any medical attention unless they speak Spanish (which they don't know how to speak), to a man calling the ambulance but the healthcare worker who answers the phone spends the time scolding the caller for not speaking Spanish instead of calling for the urgently-needed ambulance, to many, many, many, many, many, many doctors telling patients "either you speak in Spanish or you leave", and many others given choices that link their language to shame: "would you rather speak Catalan or your son get cured?", "do you want to speak Catalan or do you want a vaccine appointment?", or being told "[derrogatory/infantilizing word for "woman"], you're making me waste time" for seeking medical attention as a Catalan-speaker.

Lack of access to healthcare is a systemic problem for Catalan people, who are often forced to use Spanish if we want medical treatment in our own country.

People should have the right to access public services (that they pay for with their own tax money) in the language of the country. Can you imagine an English speaker in England not being able to see any doctor or nurse who can attend them in English? Or in French in France, or German in Germany? It doesn't happen because speakers of the dominant language have the State on their side, but Catalan speakers have the Spanish (and French, in the case of Northern Catalonia) Government actively working against us.

And, more than anywhere else, in a moment of great vulnerability like the medical setting, it's very important that patients can speak their own language and not have to worry about translating concepts, they need to have the confidence to speak clearly on what happens to them and be focused on the issue, not on word choice or accent of this second language. Even less be worried about possibly facing discrimination for it.

The new rule:

The new Government of the Valencian Country (a coalition of the right-wing party PP and the fascist party Vox, both Spanish supremacist parties who make the hatred against Catalan/Valencian one of their main campaign points) has announced yet another way to increment that discrimination.

Until now, to decide who to hire for public jobs, there was a system of points, where each kind of certificate and qualification gave you some points. Speaking the local language (Valencian/Catalan) was already not a requisite —legally creating the situation where doctors and nurses can not know any of the language spoken in the place where they work. But, until now, speaking the local language at least gave some extra points.

Now, this new Spanish supremacist regional government has decided that knowing Valencian in the Valencian Country to work in a job with public interaction is worth less than speaking any language of an independent EU state. This means that you get more points for speaking, for example, Latvian, Swedish, Maltese, Slovak or Lithuanian, than for speaking the language of the place where you will be working and where you will be talking to people.

My full respect for speakers of all these languages, but (as an example) a hypothetical Estonian speaker who you might never even encounter in a Valencian town should not be worth more than the very real Valencian speakers that you will surely encounter working in the Valencian Country.

This rule is another step to legally protect systemic discrimination and to make it continue in the future.

Note: Valencian and Catalan are two names for the same language. They're being used interchangeably.

imagine seeing a post with a list of resources to learn new things in 2022, and 2023. imagine seeing "russian language" on that list.

not sure why anyone would want to learn russian in 2022 - or in 2023 for that matter - so may I suggest learning the Crimean Tatar language instead? It's endangered not the least by Russian current colonial and genocidal occupation of Crimea, that continues a glorious tradition of Russian killing, deporting, imprisoning, or otherwise getting rid of the native population, and otherwise discouraging the use of native language and cultural practices.

Basics for Alphabet

A textbook (e-book) (paid version, +/- 2-3 USD)

Another textbook (free PDF, although you can also buy it on Amazon; авторка, можливо, російського похождення, хоч і викладає, можливо, в берклі, тут неясно, ви дивіться самі чи будете ризикувати, я вчу по посиланню вище)

Crimean tatar language for foreigners (only paperback, you would need to inquire re: delivery in your country)

A good idea would be to track this hashtag and this one, too, in TikTok if you use it, to see and hear actual users of this language, and some of them even have tips for learning it.

Ukrainians would have more options - just check out books in Книгарня є, а також підбірка ресурсів в твітері, в телеграмі Кримськотатарська мова. Ще є в інсті, але я там не сиджу, немаю посилань.

and a multimedia platform for learning qırımtatar tili here. this is like. the basics of basics. for people from 0 to 5 years old. but I figure, it's super easy, it gets you some vocabulary - with examples of pronunciation!!! which is, IMO, huge. so if you are not embarrassed to start with what our kids in kindergartens do, feel free.
