Summary
The status heterogeneity in lesser-spoken European languages,
a mirror image of the diversity of language policies
Lesser-used languages (l.u.l.) in the European context create a real mosa-
ic, showing considerable heterogeneity from the genetic point of view as
well as in terms of the status they have obtained in the country(ies) where
most of their users live. The status of each l.u.l. in a certain country reflects
this country's language policy. Many l.u.l. enjoy the status of the official
language of a country and simultaneously the status of one of the EU offi-
cial languages. These are usually the majority languages spoken in small-
er countries, e.g. Slovene. Yet, the prevailing subgroup consists of the lan-
guages with the status of a constitutional minority or regional language,
e.g. Sardinian. In exceptional cases, e.g. Irish, the l.u.l. has the status of the
first official language of a country, mostly as the symbol of people's identity.
There are also l.u.l. without any status, evolving merely as spoken languag-
es, e.g. Istro-Romanian. The sign languages, a subcategory of l.u.l., repre-
sent a new challenge for today's Europe.
