Abstract

In this paper, the author analyses the official use of minority languages in the public administration. The use of minority languages in dealings with the administrative authorities is perhaps the most concrete sign of their legal status. The official use of minority languages is analysed in three important aspects - what is a minority language in legal sense, what the territorial scope of official use is and what is the content of the official use of minority languages.
