This article offers a meta-framework for analyzing the different language policies employed by the BRICS countries to address the challenges posed by the presence of linguistic diversity. This meta-framework has a broader utility, and could be used more generally in the development, implementation, analysis, and evaluation of language planning efforts and specific language policies in other settings. The underlying research question for the article is how different BRICS countries respond to linguistic diversity, especially with respect to state schooling. The literature on which this article is based examines the different types of language planning, language policy decision-making, and the nature of and responses to linguistic diversity in all ten BRICScountries.
