From the point of view of philosophical knowledge, one of the problems of the language is a problem of national security in the context of language education. Global problems have changed the social role of language. There is a loosening of the rules of language at all levels, which in turn leads to the fact that the harm that is applied to the native (Russian) language contributes to a weakening of the nation. The place of the native language in the education system as a whole must be based on the task of not losing the language identity. The ability to think is formed in the native language. Degeneration of language education narrows the ability of cognition that makes us human beings. Reducing the intellectual level of the population leads to the degradation of the nation, reduction of intellectual potential, low level of economic development, the low state of competitiveness on a global scale that threatens national security. Language education should respond to the dynamics of social institutions, as the decision of language problems could help to resolve the contradictions that are directly related to social phenomena, including the national security issue, as the people’s losing their own language can be seen as its denationalization.
