The Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning uses the following definition for these languages, as stated in the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML):  \nRegional and minority languages are languages traditionally used within a given territory of a state by nationals of that state who form a group numerically smaller than the rest of the state’s population; they are different from the official language(s) of that state, and they include neither dialects of the official language(s) of the state nor the languages of migrants.  \nThe Mercator European Research Centre aims to acquire, apply, and circulate knowledge about these regional and minority languages in education. An important means to achieve this goal is the Regional Dossier series: documents that provide the most essential features of the education system of regions with a regional or minority language.  \naim  \nThe aim of the ","cbCaivU36xvMErMA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivU36xvMErMA","pdf",1679610,"English","# Foreword\n## Background\n## Aim\n## Target group\n## Link with Eurydice\n## Contents\n## Mercator’s Wiki on Minority Language Learning","[{\"question\":\"What definition does the dossier use for regional and minority languages?\",\"answer\":\"It uses the definition from the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML), describing languages traditionally used in a territory by nationals forming a smaller group than the rest of the state’s population and excluding dialects of the official language(s) and migrant languages.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Regional Dossier series?\",\"answer\":\"To provide concise descriptions of regional or minority languages in education, mainly in Europe, covering education-system features, recent policies, actors, legal arrangements, support structures, and quantitative aspects such as schools, teachers, pupils, and financial investments.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the target audience for this dossier series?\",\"answer\":\"Policymakers, researchers, teachers, students, and journalists interested in developments in regional or minority language schooling in Europe.\"}]","The German language in education in France (Alsace) - 3rd Edition | PDF",1792056550,202]
