Abstract	"This book offers an inclusive perspective on the constellation of languages in Europe by taking into account official state languages, regional minority languages and immigrant minority languages. Although 'celebrating linguistic diversity' is one of the key propositions in the European discourse on multilingualism and language policies, this device holds for these three types of languages in a decreasing order. All three types of languages, however, are constituent parts of a multilingual European identity and should be taken into account in any type of language policy. Both facts and policies on multilingualism and plurilingual education are addressed in case studies at the national and European level. The selection of case studies is based on a careful weighing of geographical spread of countries and languages across Europe on the one hand, and availability of established expert knowledge on the other. After an introduction to the theme of the book, part I deals with official state languages with a focus on the spread of English as lingua franca across Europe, on French and France, on Polish in Poland and abroad, and on language constellations in the Baltic States. Part II deals with regional minority languages with a focus on Catalan in Spain, Frisian in the Netherlands, Hungarian as a minority language in Central Europe, and Saami in the Nordic countries. Part III deals with immigrant minority languages in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and Europe at large." (author's abstract).
