Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this article is to contrast two perceptions of bilingualism in two ‘established’ (Churchill, 1986) minorities in Western Europe: the German minority in South Jutland, Denmark, and the German‐speaking minority in eastern cantons of Belgium. The fact that both minorities are German is not coincidental, for the existence of a number of German minorities on the boundaries of the Federal Republic and Austria is due to a shared history of over a hundred years. And that shared history has resulted in a number of comparable features which are an interesting background to discussion of some general issues in language and education.1
