Abstract

The ability to master official language is often associated with the level of someone’s nationality, thus people started to use official language and leave their heritage languages. This article is aimed at describing the government’s efforts to preserve heritage languages, through the language policy, especially in United States and Canada. Using the systematic review, the writer tried to collect, select, and review some relevant articles, then present the result of articles review in the discussion. The result showed that, both in the United States and Canada, there are some progressive efforts from the government to preserve the existence of heritage languages through the language policy and those policies are supported by the citizens so the language preservation efforts run well.
