Minority languages

Inquiry

The future of minority languages in the British Isles and the Government’s role in supporting and developing them is the subject of a new inquiry from the DCMS Committee.

MPs will consider the key factors determining whether a minority language thrives, what the criteria should be for determining official status, and whether there are lessons to be learnt from other countries where there is widespread fluency in more than one language.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Friday 10 March 2023. The Committee may be able to accept further written evidence but any person considering submitting evidence should email the committee team first at dcmscom@parliament.uk.
