- European Bureau for Lesser-Used Languages
The European Bureau for Lesser-Used Languages (EBLUL) is a
non-governmental organisation promoting linguistic diversity and languages founded in 1982. The organisation has close ties with both theEuropean Parliament and theCouncil of Europe , and is funded by both theEuropean Commission and local and regional governmental organisations.Since its establishment in 1982, the European Bureau for Lesser-Used Languages has been strengthening contacts and mutual co-operation between lesser-used language communities. It has acted as a facilitator in their links and communications with European institutions. Its aim is to continue to speak on behalf of Europe’s 46 million speakers of regional or minority language.
In
2002 , after pressure from other NGOs and groups in the Macedonian diaspora, the EBLUL dropped references to "Slavo-Macedonian" in favour of "Macedonian" in reference to some of the groups of Slavic dialects spoken in northernGreece ref|greekhelsinki.Notes
