BernardComrie, professor of Linguistics at the University of California and director of the Linguistics department of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, claimed that the minority languages have as much to say as the others.
Comrie, who is participating in the debate Linguistic Diversity, Sustainability and Peace, said that an evaluation of the present situation of the worlds languages cannot be made: there are rare languages whose rights are perfectly well respected.
Comrie quoted the situation of other places, such as Turkey, where until a short time ago languages such as Kurdish could not be used in public.
