On 11th June, the new Network to Promote Linguistic Diversity (NPLD) was launched in Brussels. The NPLD has been established to work for the promotion and development of Europe’s less widely used languages.

The new network comprises the language departments of member states and autonomous governments, language NGOs, universities and research centres, who will share best practice in language planning and development, and together provide a new powerful voice on linguistic issues.

The NPLD was established in December 2007 and is co-funded by the European Commission. NPLD members hail from a number of different countries, including Estonia, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Fryslan, Brittany, Sweden, Catalonia, Slovenia and Hungary.
