Summary

Building a Language-Friendly Environment

An inclusive approach to linguistic diversity

National and regional authorities are encouraged to give special attention to measures to assist those language communities whose number of native speakers is in decline from generation to generation, in line with the principles of the European Charter on Regional and Minority Languages. Member States are encouraged to give special attention to measures to assist language communities whose number of native speakers is in decline from generation to generation, in line with the principles of the European Charter on Regional and Minority Languages.

a) What concrete actions (if any) have been accomplished in this field since 2004?

The 1993 Act on National and Ethnic Minorities defines 13 national and ethnic minorities in Hungary, recognised by the state. These minorities have a community right to preserve their culture. It is this community right ensured by law which forms the basis of state obligation to operate institutions to preserve the cultural identity of minorities. Croatian, German, Rumanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian are the minorities where Hungary also assumed commitments in the European Charter.
