New projects about regional languages in LINEE

Languages in a Network of European Excellence (LINEE) is a scientific network funded under the 6th framework programme of the European Commission (FP6). The general aim of LINEE is to investigate linguistic diversity, including regional and minority languages in Europe, in a coherent and interdisciplinary way.

On the 1st of May 2008 the first set of work packages has started, with research about the Italian minority and other language/dialect groups in Istria (Croatia), the Polish minority and other language/dialect groups in Silesia (Czech Republic); German minorities in France, Romania, the Czech Republic and South Tyrol and Hungarian minorities spread over Europe.
