An analysis of the identification of the Linguistic Minorities’ problems as reflected in the peer-reviewed, validly published literature has been done in this study reviewing the individual studies and methods of selected twenty five articles and / or papers. Three broad artificial categories namely - Linguistic Minority, socio-culture and identity crisis have been constructed for systematic addressing of the relevant problems identified by the researchers of those studies. Together, the propositions provide a schema for understanding and categorizing what is known and still needs to be known about the problems of the linguistic minorities, a framework for probing the significant theoretical and substantive issues underlying the findings that emerge from the various angles of study already performed. It has been found that culture is communicated and transmitted through the educator’s approach to teaching and how learner experiences it. It can contribute either positively or negatively as far as ethics and linguistic minorities are concerned. The way that education involves culture can oppress a culture’s potential for positive contribution to education. Educators then have a responsibility to consult local culture while being conscious of individual context and humanity in an effort to avoid oppression. Culture, cultural identity, acculturation are needed to be rigorously interpreted in order to understand the problems of Linguistic Minorities.
