-=== European Charter for Regional and Minority languages ===
-== Who set it up? ==
-  * The Charter was drafted by the Council of Europe in 1992. It entered into force in 1998. Members of the Council of Europe can sign up for the Charter, and thus commit themselves to its principles(([[http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/education/minlang/aboutcharter/default_en.asp|COE website: about the Charter]])).
-== Who does it protect ==
-"regional or minority languages” defined as languages traditionally used within a given territory of a state by nationals of that state who form a group numerically smaller than the rest of the state’s population; they are different from the official language(s) of that state, and they include neither dialects of the official language(s) of the state nor the languages of migrants.
-== What protection can it give? ==
-The provisions in the Charter are divided into two parts:
-  * a set of general provisions applying to all regional or minority languages (Part II)
-  * a set of additional provisions, to which a member state can subscribe a language (Part III).
