I've got a one day troll svidomy ganglion spreads in the tree that is not the native language spoken by generations of ancestors, but one, the name of the state is:).
Opponents official multilingualism as a mantra, saying: "One Mova - one power." Spread the ignorant statements that without their language can not state that monoethnic countries, only one language has official status , and once again argue that the European Charter for Regional or minority languages protected only endangered languages.
All unitary European state bilingual
These statements are nothing TAKE sovremennыmy not with trends in politics yazыkovoy states, but this is not meshaet nationalist says: "Language policy in Ukraine in line with European standard i є lіberalnoyu. By his usual absurd claims opponents of multilingualism in this time can add another argument, which recently earn more nationalistic absurdities, Viktor Yushchenko, who made the "discovery" of the existence of the relationship between state and territorial device and a number of official languages.«In the unitary state of the debate should not be, a title or a dominant national language - It is only one. We do not confederation like Switzerland, we are not a federation, as several countries in Europe that allow the two official languages, we - unitary country. You will not find an example in the world, if a unitary country is making the practice of bilingualism "- gave the former president of another absurdity, speaking on Channel 5.
In fact, out of 48 bilingual States the vast majority (94%) belong to the unitary and only three - to the Federation. This is Canada, India and Pakistan. And none of them is not in Europe. And in Switzerland, which ex-president somehow classified as a bilingual European countries at the actually four languages have official status. And in Europe, again in contrast to Yushchenko's allegations, no one Federation of State attached to the level of bilingualism. All European states are unitary bilingual. poliyazychnye A European federation - already mentioned Switzerland as well as Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina - are not classified as bilingual, as the state status on their territories have three or four languages.
«Bagat atoms - nas bogato Powers»
Just do not correspond to reality, and one of the favorite slogans of the former president: "One Mova - one power." On the contemporary political map of the world to 86 countries (out of 193), or 45%, followed in the language policy polilingvisticheskogo principle. Of these, the vast majority of (77%) fixed for several languages official status nationwide. Others combine language policy and the regional government multilingualism.In the previously mentioned 48 bilingual states, in some countries state-level multilingualism enshrined for a greater number of languages. In 14 countries the official status within the entire state have 3 languages in Singapore and Switzerland - 4, Mauritius - 5, in South Africa - 12.
multilingualism in the politics of modern states carried out in two formats. first involves multilingualism at the state level, the second can be called mixed when the status of national language value is complemented by the regional languages. Adhere to this format 23 modern state. Six of them use the formula "1 +1", ie, one state language and one regional, the other - the status of regional granted to two, three or more languages, up to a maximum in the Russian Federation where one official language of 26 regional supplement.
Three states adhere to the formula of "2 plus" when, in addition to the regional languages, is used not one but two official languages. This is Finland, Norway and India. And in Norway, despite its ethnic homogeneity, the two forms of Norwegian have official status.
Under the current legislation and government policy in Norway coexist "official" form Norwegian language - Bokmål (literally "book it") and nyunoshk ("New Norwegian"). The vast majority of Norwegians prefer Bokmål and nyunoshk use about 10% of the population. Language situation in Norway is somewhat similar to Ukrainian. There Bokmål a Russian in Ukraine is increasingly used In urban areas, and nyunoshk - in rural and western Norway.
It should be noted that official multilingualism is a general tendency of linguistic policy not only in Europe but also in the whole world. For example, in 2007, Madagascar held a referendum on extending the state of multilingualism, which voters were in favor to the state status, but the Malagasy language, received two: English and French. Incidentally, this example has again proves the ignorance of Viktor Yushchenko in the language policy: while still president, at a press conference with the great name "Natsіonalnі priorities ", he said, that a question:" How would you vote in a referendum on the establishment of Russian as a second language? Yes or no? "- Replied about negative response and obosnoval thy subjects, that "so does every state and almost every nation in response to this question. No, not the state and kazhdoe nation so acting. And Madagascar is not alone.
Talking about the language policy of modern states, not to mention New Zealand, which went farthest. In the XIX century, this country was the first of the currently existing states where women have equal rights with men voting rights. And now New Zealand has shown all the sample, giving the 2006 third official status New Zealand sign language (along with English and Maori).
given statistics is an undeniable refutation of the thesis of the Ukrainian nationalists of "one Mova - one power."
In the mono-ethnic European countries in two languages
Numerous examples refute another argument of opponents of official multilingualism in Ukraine, claiming the existence of correlation between the mono-ethnic structure of the population and the number of official languages. To prove the ignorance of such statements is not necessary go far enough to look at Europe. For the credibility of our opponents will not take the example of post-Soviet countries as they, like Ukraine, According to Viktor Yushchenko, it should be "overcome the vestiges of the colonial past in the language of consciousness and practice".So, in modern Europe without accounting post-Soviet countries there are 27 monoethnic States. 16 of them or a majority (59%) adhere to the official multilingualism in language policy. In seven of them (Austria, Britain, Spain, Malta, Netherlands, Norway and Croatia), percentage of the great nation of more than 80%. Another nine proportion of the most numerous people in the ethnic structure exceeds 90%. This is Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Finland and Sweden.
should be emphasized that this list of mono-ethnic but multi-lingual country, there is the most ethnically homogeneous state Europe - Portugal, where Portuguese is 99%. At the same time in Portugal two languages have official status: Portuguese and mirandsky. Official status мирандского языка в моноэтничной Португалии введен для жителей небольшой территории в северо-восточной части страны, составляющих в структуре населения only 0.14%.
In Canada, no Canadian, and in Austria Austrian
Opponents of the status of multilingualism in the Ukraine have resorted to rhetoric to the ignorant assertion that statehood and independence necessarily presuppose the existence of their own, not a "foreign" language. These absurdities President replicated literally in his every public statement, saying that without language we do not state that the campaign slogan of Viktor Yanukovich "in two languages - one country "- a fable of the gray wolf. This project, how to lose the state, and the adherents of such a slogan "should at least in the first class to go, to say that if we go this way, we lose what we call ... the state. "In fact, the first class must have to go very Viktor Andreevich and other nationalists, where they are any competent teacher would have explained that the language can be a symbol of the state , but not attribute of statehood and independence.
to the contrary are automatically deprived of the independence of the 55 countries with the public status of English, 30 states with the same status of French, 20 - with the public status of English, 7 - with the same status of the Portuguese language, 6 - to state the status of German, etc. And what the logic of Yushchenko and other nationalists, not one ten Arab states? Urgently to prove his independence, Algerian inventing language, Moorish, Oman, Qatar, Lebanon, united-Arab-Emirate, etc.? A Canadian in this case to "acquisition" state urgently needs to create a Canadian language, Austria - Austrian, Mexico - Mexico, Brazil - Brazil, Argentina - Argentina, Uruguay - Uruguay, Paraguay - Paraguay, etc.?
According to the logic of opponents of multilingualism in Ukraine, the overwhelming majority of the modern sovereign countries (70%) do not have statehood. This is a country where public status have so-called "non-national" or "foreign" languages, such as preferred and prefers to express said.
Charter does not protect endangered German
numerous facts and figures refute the false thesis and nationalists о том, что Европейская хартия региональных языков или языков меньшинств защищает исключительно исчезающие языки.В данном случае даже не стоит оспаривать or to prove the correctness or incorrectness of the translation of the Charter, as there any educated person, and even a "neophyte" in the study of English say that the very name of the Charter of the English language has already proved wrong and ignorance of the Ukrainian nationalists. But their legal and linguistic ignorance can be proved with numbers indicating the total number of native speakers are protected by the Charter, and listing the European countries where these are not endangered languages received an official status.
Today in Europe in 18 languages with the number of carriers over a million people different states are classified as regional and protected by the Charter. For example, the Slovenian language with a number of carriers for more than 2 million people. protected by the Charter in Austria and Montenegro. Number of carriers of the Albanian and Croatian languages than 6 million people. In both cases, but the Albanian language is protected by the Charter of Serbia and Montenegro and Croatian - in Austria and Montenegro. The Hungarian language is spoken by at least 14 million people., A category protected by the Charter is included in three states: Austria, Serbia and Slovenia. In accordance with the Charter of the Italian language (with the total number of carriers for more than 70 million people.) received official status in Slovenia and Croatia, and German (more than 110 million speakers) - In Denmark, Italy and Poland.
Today, most European countries adhere to the principle of status multilingualism in language policy. Therefore, if opponents of the status of multilingualism in the Ukraine say about European integration, they should not instill in their society ignorant arguments without the facts and to realize that this integration involves not only a welcome entry into the EU, but also adherence to European standards, including those in language policy.
