Brexit and Language: What future for English and for the Minority Languages of the UK?

The Welsh Brexit blog aims to inform and encourage constructive debate and analysis on issues relating to Wales and the UK's exit of the European Union. The future of English and of minority languages in both the EU and the UK post Brexit needs to be more at the forefront of public debate assert Professor Diarmait Mac Giolla Chríost and Dr Matteo Bonotti. Arguing that Brexit is likely to have profound implications for languages in the EU and the UK, they claim that urgent and careful attention by both academics and policy-makers is needed to ensure that the legal framework and public policy norms that have guided the EU and the UK’s approach to linguistic diversity doesn’t get derailed.
