Abstract: Language in its most developed
forms is a priceless creation of man. It has
always been a matter of slow evolution and

background, the purpose of this paper is to assess

that are protected in human rights international
treaties, measures that aims to protect speakers
of minority languages from discrimination and
substantive measures adopted both at the national
and international level.

desenvolvidas é uma criação inestimável do
homem. Sempre foi uma questão de evolução
lenta e nenhum idioma pode dizer ter nascido
