Rationale

A rigid single-language policy excludes non-native speakers and limits government efficiency in the name of national identity. Flexible language choices improve accessibility and service delivery based on pragmatic need rather than empty patriotism.

Proposed Changes

	Law	Previous		Proposed
1	Official Language Policy	Single official language for all official documents and courts		No official language (agencies choose service languages pragmatically)
