Conclusion

Abstract

The Conclusion recapitulates the book’s main points. First, the rise of Central Europe’s ethnolinguistic heterogeneity; subsequently, its compartmentalization among homogenously ethnolinguistic nation-states; before during the last two decades European integration and the internet began to permeate these nationally defined ethnolinguistic homogeneities with renewed plurality. Kamusella stresses that languages (like nations and states) are artifacts created, maintained and destroyed by humans and their groups. Hence, more attention should be devoted to the analysis of their creation, and various political, social and economic uses.
