This paper explores the relationship between linguistic diversity and poverty, focusing on its socioeconomic and educational implications. While linguistic diversity can enrich cultural identity, it may also pose challenges in education, employment, and social mobility, particularly in multilingual regions with limited resources. The study examines how language policies, access to education, and economic opportunities interact with linguistic diversity to either mitigate or exacerbate poverty.
