About
Mercator’s Wiki on minority language learning by Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning is an online factsheet system which provides information on minority language education. The Wiki covers minority languages that have only a (very) small place in the national education system, or none at all.
The main goals of the Wiki on Minority Language Learning are to:
- share knowledge on minority language learning;
- increase the visibility of minority languages online;
- reflect the institutional support for minority language education in different contexts; and
- collect and offer open resources for minority language learning.
The Wiki complements the Mercator Regional Dossiers, and offers information on the education of minority languages that have only a (very) small place in the national education system, or none at all.
Languages covered by Mercator's Regional Dossiers and Wiki
The focus of this wiki is on languages that have a minor or almost non-existent place in a nation's education system. It complements Mercator's Regional Dossiers, which concern languages whose presence in the education system is more significant.
Together, the Regional Dossiers and the Wiki cover more than eighty languages:
