Research aims to contribute to strengthening minority languages
Can small minority languages survive in a globalized world? The question is asked within the research project ELDIA (European Language Diversity for All) in which the Åland Islands Peace Institute is cooperating with researchers from seven different universities.
Through studying and comparing 14 different language communities in eight European countries the research project will gather knowledge about how one may strengthen minority languages in Europé and globally. One aim of the project is to develop a European Language Vitality Barometer (the EuLaViBar) to assess the vitality of different languages.
