Resumo

O objetivo desta contribuição é descrever a forma como a lei aborda a proteção das línguas regionais ou minoritárias. Esta contribuição a ser publicada em Portugal em 2024 é particularmente apropriada, uma vez que Portugal está prestes a ratificar a Carta Europeia das Línguas Regionais ou Minoritárias para o Mirandês e o Barranquenho.

O foco principal será a proteção por instrumentos iniciados pelo Conselho da Europa. No entanto, serão feitas algumas observações em relação às ações levadas a cabo pelas Nações Unidas, seguidas de algumas notas sobre as iniciativas da União Europeia relativas às línguas regionais ou minoritárias.
