Colonialingualism is a concept in education and policy referring to the privileging of dominant colonial languages, knowledges, and neoliberal valorizations of diversity. The term was introduced by scholar Paul Meighan in the context of English-language education and has since been applied to broader questions of education, language policy, coloniality, and linguistic and epistemic justice.
