Speaking multiple languages is part of many people’s everyday life. Multilingualism influences how people relate to the world and emotionally attach to places. This attachment might also be affected by experiences of discrimination. While the link between multilingualism and belonging as well as that between multilingualism and discrimination has been studied previously, we do not know how multilingualism and experiences of discrimination interact and relate to feelings of belonging. Based on the 2025 Diversity and Inclusion survey, this paper examines the complex relationship between language proficiency, multilingual identity and linguistic racism. Specifically, we ask how multilingualism and experiences of discrimination influence the sense of place belonging among migrants and their children in the superdiverse city of Malmö, Sweden. The findings highlight that while speaking Swedish at home strongly correlates with feeling at home in Sweden, experiences of discrimination and lower language proficiency significantly undermine this sense of place belonging.
