Language policy is a system of measures and legislative acts carried out by the authorities and / or public institutions of a country that set certain social and linguistic goals. The latter include: changing or maintaining existing functional-language norms, as well as language support. Language policy , like any other type of policy, reflects the values of a particular class, party, ethnic group, often to the detriment of the interests of other parties, classes, peoples or sub-ethnic groups. The ideologists of a particular language policy are often guided by a number of socio-political, economic [1] , ideological, psychological, aesthetic and cultural considerations.

Classification
In cases where the language policy tries to change the status quo , it is considered promising (in the Soviet and Russian scientific literature this term is understood as language construction , and in Western European - language planning ) [2] . In cases where the political elite is satisfied with the prevailing linguistic norms of language and speech and / or prevents the establishment of new ones, language policy is considered retrospective. The effectiveness of language policies also depends on a number of factors. The language policy is particularly complex and conflicting [3] when it is aimed at changing the current language situation [4] , that is, at changing the types of contact and interaction of two or more languages within the framework of one state, people, region, etc.
