Focusing on the language policies of Scandinavian countries, this book analyzes the constitutional and legal frameworks governing the use of North Germanic languages, including Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese. It also addresses the historical suppression of minority languages and the evolving role of English and immigrant languages. By adopting a comparative approach, it traces the development of language rights in the region, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars across various disciplines, including linguistics and political science.
