Since language is the bond of social relations, a linguistic gap can contribute to the isolation and discrimination of minority and migrant populations. This work analyzed the linguistic attitudes towards migrant populations in the educational field in Uruguay. Specifically, this study examined the linguistic background of students from the Dominican Republic, their experiences in the school context, and their expectations regarding formal education. The analysis included the attitudes of the teaching staff towards Dominican students and considered their preparation and availability to educate culturally and linguistically diverse populations in public education centers in Montevideo and its metropolitan area. Additionally, a search was conducted to gather any news published in various media outlets related to the education of migrants.

The results shed light on the correspondence between linguistic attitudes and behaviors in the educational field and the conflict that may occur in situations of linguistic contact when there is inequality between the different speakers of a community.

Palabras clave : Language and migration; linguistic attitudes; Dominican migration in Uruguay; migrant education.
