Revitalizing Minority Languages

New Speakers of Breton, Yiddish and Lemko

About this book

New speakers are an increasingly important aspect of the revitalization of minority languages since, in some cases, they can make up the majority of the language community in question. This volume examines this phenomenon from the viewpoint of three minority languages: Breton, Yiddish and Lemko.
