Summary

The European Union´s attitude to regional and minority languages has been progressively improving. It has gone from a situation of marginalisation to proclaiming respect for diversity of languages and for minorities. The process of regionalisation, plus the social and political movements in favour of minority languages has surely influenced this change; but it has been above all the responsibility and the instruments developed around the national minorities of the Member States from Eastern Europe that have boosted this positive evolution.
