Dear Lowlanders,



This just in via Eurolang’s Facebook account:



A new far reaching and substantive ‘regional’ language bill covering all
linguistic domains was launched in the French National Assembly on Tuesday.
Overall it establishes a level of linguistic rights in line with European
norms, including a State guarantee for the teaching of a regional language
to all children. If successful this Bill could have a hugely beneficial
effect on languages such as Breton and Corsican.



Too little too late for some of them, including French Flemish?

The bill (in French) can be accessed here:
