Abstract:

Language policy in Central Asia, Afghanistan and the immediately surrounding 
neighboring countries has a long and varied history. The Iranian revolution of 
1978, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the ongoing conflict in 
Afghanistan since 2001 have left the area in a state of flux. This volume gives a 
better picture about what is official and explicit, what is not official but implicit or 
general practice, and what the likely future developments might be. It is very 
clear that multilingualism, whether it involves Persian, Russian or English in 
addition to other languages, not only has long been a part of the scene, but will 
probably continue to be so.
