Today the Council of Europe celebrates the European Day of Languages, encouraging people across all 47 member states to celebrate their linguistic diversity. FBK and CNR-ILC, as part of the META-NET initiative, are marking the occasion by highlighting the publication of a set of whitepapers looking at the social, economic and technological status of 30 European languages, including Italian, in modern Europe.
