Abstract
Abstract This chapter details the developments of the recognition and protection of language rights and linguistic identity of minorities. It shows how the jurisprudence under traditional human rights is starting to be reassessed in a way that demonstrates that many language rights are protected in traditional human rights provisions. In addition, new regional treaties dealing directly with minority and linguistic protection have been developed, have entered into force, and have started to have significant impact. They provide, in other words, practical guideposts indicating how the path to pluralism can be followed in the area of language policies in democratic societies. The chapter thus reviews the emerging cases, opinions, and views from various courts and other treaty-based bodies which have brought these developments to fruition.
