By ratifiying the Framework Convention and the Minority Languages Charter, and by implementing legislation giving the right to use Sámi, Finnish and Meänkieli in contact with administrative authorities and courts (1999:1175 and 1999:1176), Sweden has accepted the charge of protecting and promoting the five national minorities and their languages, Meänkieli, Finnish, Sámi, Romani and Yiddish.
