Officiellt språk

Ett officiellt språk är ett språk som specifikt anges vara ett sådant i länders, delstaters eller i andra områdens konstitutioner eller lagar. De officiella språken används i landets offentliga administration och är de språk som lagar, domar och myndighetsbeslut avfattas på.

I Finlands grundlag och språklag används begreppet ”nationalspråk” av samma betydelse.

I Sverige används begreppet ”officiellt språk” om svenska språket endast ”i internationella sammanhang”.[1] Svenska språket betecknas i andra sammanhang som ”huvudspråk”.

Officiella minoritetsspråk

I många länder har man fastställt officiella minoritetsspråk. Dessa är inte officiella språk i landet; begreppen skall inte sammanblandas.

I Sverige finns det fem minoritetsspråk som betecknas som ”nationella minoritetsspråk” med vissa särskilda rättigheter för talare av dessa: finska, meänkieli (tornedalsfinska), samiska (sáme-giella), jiddisch och romani chib. Se vidare Språk i Sverige.

Flag of Europe.svg
The Flag of Europe is the flag and emblem of the European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE). It consists of a circle of 12 golden (yellow) stars on a blue background. It was created in 1955 by the CoE and adopted by the EU, then the European Communities, in the 1980s.

The CoE and EU are distinct in membership and nature. The CoE is a 47-member international organisation dealing with human rights and rule of law, while the EU is a quasi-federal union of 27 states focused on economic integration and political cooperation. Today, the flag is mostly associated with the latter.

It was the intention of the CoE that the flag should come to represent Europe as a whole, and since its adoption the membership of the CoE covers nearly the entire continent. This is why the EU adopted the same flag. The flag has been used to represent Europe in sporting events and as a pro-democracy banner outside the Union.
