The article explores the effects of crises—such as war, migration, and digitalization—on the development of students' national linguistic identity. Through analysis of language policy documents, statistical data, and semi-structured interviews with students and teachers, the study finds that in wartime, the national language is reinforced as a symbol of resistance and social cohesion. However, migration and the limited integration of digital technologies pose threats to maintaining this identity. The research shows that students’ strong attachment to their national language enhances both social inclusion and vulnerability. The study offers practical contributions to language policy formation during crises and recommends pedagogical strategies to support students in preserving their linguistic identity.
