New Ukrainian Government bans Tatarian and Russian Language in the Crimea

[RussiaPrussia]

Crimea’s Russian majority has been hoping to hold a regional referendum ever since 1991, when it was refused the right to take such a step. Right before the Soviet Union eventually split, the vast 93.26 percent majority of Crimeans voted in support of establishment of the ‘Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic’ as a subject of a new Union state. The people, however, were never allowed to decide with which country the autonomous region should side – with Ukraine or with Russia.

While the Russian language has been a predominant among all ethnic groups of Crimeans, both in everyday and official life, it has been stripped of its regional status by a recent decision of new Kiev authorities. The move also hits Tatar language and languages of ethnic minorities in other parts of Ukraine.

Excellent. They should transport the 'Tatars' and their like far east, deep into Russia, away from the Ukrainian and Russian people.

Can someone elaborate how do you ban certain language?
Making language non-official makes some sense, but you can't stop someone from speaking his/her language.

This decision makes no sense.
