Hvad menes der med, at sprog er små?
We can arbitrarily assume, that the class of small languages in Europe comprises languages with less than 0.5 mill. language users. For some of these languages reliable information is hardly available, which could indicate that the whole situation for these languages is unstable. Such languages are...
