The EU’s policy of multilingualism
The EU is shaped by its cultural and linguistic diversity, which is not only reflected in its motto “United in Diversity”, but also embedded in its founding treaties. Multilingualism – the ability of societies, institutions and individuals to use several languages, or the co-existence of different language communities within the same geographical area – is shaped by democratic, historical, legal and practical factors in the EU. Under its policy of multilingualism, the EU aims to communicate with EU citizens in their own languages and protect Europe’s rich linguistic diversity.
