Searching LTs for minority languages

LTs are a necessary instrument for all languages, especially for those aiming at conquering a space over digital devices. Languages that are not equipped with LT seriously face digital extinction in the long run. The META-NET project has assessed the current status of LTs for 30 European languages. But what about regional and minority languages? Very little information is available for them. In this paper, we first present the data available using the LRE Map. We then argue for a campaign aimed at providing a complete picture of LTs for minority and regional languages of Europe. This will help policy makers, researchers and developers to plan a roadmap for doting all languages with the necessary instruments to act as fully equipped languages in the digital era. A census of available and needed LT is thus proposed
