Multiculturalism is a doctrine under which several cultures interact in a common context. In
these societies each group differentiates for its civilization, mentality and language. However,
the definition of multiculturalism depends mainly on the social, political, cultural and
sociolinguistic context. In multicultural societies it is expected that there are social groups which
carry out their cultural values such as the language. However, are the multicultural societies
always multilingual, too? The insistence of building a monolingual ideology in a multicultural
and multiethnic country will always fail because the role of the language in these societies is not
only to establish mutual communication but to save national identity, too. The approaches to
languages where they interact two or more languages is of a great importance. In different geo- political contexts, when there are two languages in contact, it often happens one of them to be
considered of a first category and it is expected from the other to obey the first one. This
approach leads to the feeling of a lack of confidence and loss of identity for individuals who
belong to one of these category groups. This paper aims to reflect on the loss of collective
identity in multicultural, multiethnic and multilingual societies. Republic of Macedonia is a
country created in the '90s of the last century, which in the political aspect is faced with a denial
of identity and existence, whereas with the interior politics it hardly accepts the existence of
other languages and cultures. It is a multicultural society where cultural and lingual diversity
instead of representing values, they are understood and experienced as a clash of cultures.
