Vegyes házasság - kétnyelvűség - asszimiláció

It is inevitable that minority communities that have no autonomy will decline in population. The reasons for this are the demographic situation of the given community, the omnipresent assimilation process and the regionally very different social coexistence between a majority and minority. In a diaspora, the number and proportion of mixed marriages is very high, reaching up to 70%, which is (one of) the most important drives behind assimilation. In mixed families, where the dominant language is the state language, the language of the majority spouse, it is almost inexorable that the children will have a Romanian identity, with little attachment to the minority Hungarian language. The question is how language use in mixed families can be influenced and, more specifically, how balanced bilingualism can be achieved and with what likelihood
