"Yellow:" others which are permitted to give German such a status

The bilingual status of gminas (communes) in Poland is regulated by the "Act of 6 January 2005 on National and Ethnic Minorities and on the Regional Languages", which permits certain gminas with significant linguistic minorities to introduce a second, auxiliary language to be used in official contexts alongside Polish. So far 20 gminas have done this:
