Linguistic human rights (LHR) can be defined as “only those language rights . . . which are so basic for a dignified life that everybody has them because of being human; therefore, in principle no state (or individual) is allowed to violate them” (e.g., Skutnabb‐Kangas, 2008, p. 109; see Skutnabb‐Kangas, in press‐a, for a discussion of definitions). For basic presentations of LHR, including Web sites for all human rights (HR) instruments below, see Skutnabb‐Kangas, 2000, in press‐a, in press‐b).
