Equality in minority language maintenance – the phrasing of law
Original language description
This paper focuses on the doctrinal legal analysis of the international law on minority language maintenance as it is reflected in Czech and Polish legislation. Syntactic and semantic ambiguities and vagueness in word meanings are examined with a focus on legal differences between autochthonous and immigrant communities and on the inflexibility of legal guarantees. It is concluded that there is no legal consensus as to who should benefit from legal provisions on language maintenance, because there is no universally accepted definition of national minority and there is no consensus on the justifiability of legal differentiation between traditional autochthonous minorities and newer communities of immigrants with respect to language rights. Additionally, current legal documents do not impose obligations on states to guarantee enforceable and equal linguistic rights for minorities.
