The Americas are a multilingual, pluricultural, and multiethnic territory where asymmetrical relationships of political, economic, sociocultural, and linguistic power have existed for centuries despite all the efforts that have been made to alleviate these situations. Language regimes constitute a set of regulations that prescribe which languages should be used when, where, how, by whom, and under what circumstances. According to Kroskrity (2000a: 3), “‘Regimes of language,’ as both image and title, [...] promised to integrate two often segre- gated domains: politics (without language) and language (without politics)”. This means that language regimes are political constructs, where ideologies function as linguistic and discursive practices.
