| Abstract: | This paper deals with the specific situation of the German speaking minority in the officially trilingual nation Belgium. Although the German speaking community in Belgium comprises only approximately 70,000 speakers and despite their integration in the French speaking province of Liege their autonomous linguistic rights do not seem to be called into question. |
