Abstracts

PL

The paper presents the situation of non-romance minoritary languages which has lived for centuries in countries, where the official language is a romance language. Consecutively are described: Basque in Spain and France, Breton in France, Flemish in France and Belgium, Alsatian and Lotaringian in France, German in Italy, France and Luxemburg, Hungarian with its dialects in Romania, Slavic languages in Romania, Moldova and Italy. The most endangered are languages without their own state, such as: Basque, Breton, Alsatian and Lorraine Franconian, because they can defend their legacy only in conditions of the domination of the big official language, often in lack of the common linguistic norms. However, the survival of languages depends, after all, on the ethnic consciousness and determination of a given community.
