In some villages or social groups it is the characteristic of communicating in a single language. It is usually an imposition of governments in places where there is a de facto multilingualism for the diversity of cultures, in order to facilitate education and communication; and often to the detriment of minorities who lose their linguistic identity. See prefix mono- ( "only , only" ) , language ( "language" ) .
