Download or read book The European Charter for Regional Or Minority Languages and the French Dilemma written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2004 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In France, the interruption of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages ratification process following a decision by the Constitutional Council gave rise to a heated debate. Should regional languages in France be afforded protection? Is there a danger that promoting regional languages could encourage the assertion of regional identities to such an extent that the cohesiveness of the national community were at risk? Do measures to protect regional or minority languages represent a real danger to a country's official language? Can regional or minority languages be effectively protected just by putting the principles of the charter into practice without going through the ratification process? How should France's position be understood in the light of the growing number of ratifications, including by the majority of the current members of the European Union? This publication explores answers to the above questions.--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European linguistic diversity goes far beyond the official national languages of the present 27 member states of the European Union. In every country several languages of smaller or larger groups of speakers are used besides the official language or the languages of the majority population. These languages are autochthonous languages that have been used for a long time in the individual country as well as allochthonous languages of different groups of migrants and their descendants. The sometimes complicated relations between national, regional and minority languages within various countries are discussed in this volume. Besides reports on several countries, the general sociolinguistic and legal conditions are dealt with in overview contributions. In addition, the Dublin Declaration on the relationship between official languages and regional and minority languages in Europe is presented in 24 languages.
