Linguistic Minorities
Among three types of minorities, the problem of
linguistic minorities is not complicated. In various
states they have to adopt the national language, but
arrangements for the study and teaching of their separate
languages are also made. Where the script is common, it
is very easy for the minorities to study their language
and the national language together. As the Roman script
has been adopted for all languages of Europe, there is no
problem, as such, of linguistic minorities in those
states. The national language is used for official
purpose. But where the community having a separate
language has a specific and big area, their language can
be used in the local administration.
