One language disappears every two weeks, and up to 90 % of existing languages could be gone by the turn of the century. Globalisation, social and economic pressures and political options can determine whether a language survives. Multilingualism is a cornerstone of the European project, with 24 official and 60 minority languages. In a digital era, ensuring digital language equality can help preserve linguistic diversity.

EPRS STOA podcast - What if everyone spoke the same language?

Hlavnou postavou tohto príbehu je malá Anička, ktorá sa práve s rodičmi presťahovala do inej krajiny. Začala tu chodiť do školy a postupne si osvojila jazyk, ktorým sa v krajine hovorí. Knižka je vo formáte audioknihy a elektronickej knihy dostupná vo všetkých 24 úradných jazykoch EÚ. Je určená pre deti vo veku 3 – 6 rokov, vhodná je však aj pre staršie deti, ktoré sa učia čítať, či už vo svojom materinskom jazyku alebo v niektorom z iných jazykov EÚ.

Ako sa Anička naučila nový jazyk

V Európskej únii je 24 úradných jazykov, a tak je ovládanie cudzích jazykov v Európe veľmi prospešné. Znalosť jazyka vám môže pomôcť nájsť si prácu alebo jednoducho nadviazať kontakt s inými ľuďmi. Tu je niekoľko príkladov toho, ako Únia podporuje ľudí, ktorí sa učia cudzie jazyky.

‘Learning languages is like riding a bicycle’, says Elsa-María. ‘Once you master it, you never lose the skill.’ Born into a German-Spanish family, she grew up with what she calls ‘an international spirit’, which is where her deep love of languages comes from. Watch Elsa-María as she tells her story!

Every year, on 13 October, we celebrate International Plain Language Day, which first took place in 2011. What’s this day all about?

[EN-AUDIO] International Plain Language Day

Parliament’s language professionals rightly celebrate International Plain Language Day. Our linguistic standards are second to none, and our commitment to seeing clear language gain prominence has gone beyond texts to include audio and video - and in all 24 languages of the European Union.

[EN-VIDEO] International Plain Language Day

Európsky parlament je jedinou inštitúciou EÚ, na ktorú sa vzťahuje povinnosť najvyššej možnej miery viacjazyčnosti. Dokumenty aj diskusie sú dostupné skutočne všetkým občanom, keďže sa prekladajú a tlmočia do 24 oficiálnych jazykov EÚ. Vďaka tomu je dianie v Parlamente jasné, zrozumiteľné a transparentné.

O Parlamente, v ktorom sa hovorí 24 jazykmi

Jill EVANS (Greens/EFA, UK), rapporteur, speaks to the press about Language Equality in the Digital Age, during the plenary session of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

Ivailo Kalfin (S&D, Bulharsko) potvrdzuje, že Parlament mal v rozpočtových rokovaniach s Radou posledné slovo. Ďalej žiada, aby sa budúce rokovania sústredili viac na politické ciele.

O viacročnom rozpočte EÚ

Hlasovanie o úrade na boj proti podvodom odložili. Skupiny Parlamentu sa rozchádzajú v otázke viacjazyčnosti. Provensálske mesto sa stane európskym hlavným mestom kultúry.

Sýria nerešpektuje Annanov plán, kríza sa prehlbuje. Ukrajina napáda politických oponentov voči obchodnej dohode s EÚ. EÚ potrebuje viac rodených hovoriacich z Británie.
