A "Russian doll" problem 2

I heard a teacher in southern Philippines complain that she now had to deal with three "foreign" languages instead of two. Previously, she and her students only had to struggle with Filipino and English. Now, in addition to that, she also has to deal with a variety of Cebuano which differs from the local vernacular. Only because the government designated her area to be part of the Cebuano-speaking region.

To revitalize a minority language, someone first has to pick one of the many existing varieties, develop it, codify it, write a grammar in it, make a dictionary in it, and teach it to promote it. People who speak other varieties of the same language feel disenfranchised. And they resist the top-down imposition of a "foreign" variety. Actually, the promoters of the minority language is doing exactly what they opposed and resisted when done by the promoter of the majority language.
