Abstract
Language regimes tend to reflect the political culture and administrative styles of their respective states. This will be demonstrated by reference to the most important policy implications drawn from the case studies of the implementation of language legislation in Finland, Ireland and Wales. The policy analysis recognizes the status of Language Acts as being fundamental for the protection of linguistic diversity, but also recognizes the importance of institutions and mechanisms supporting the active implementation of language rights and duties as stated in the respective Language Acts. The chapter concludes with a set of recommendations to be considered at various levels of implementation.
