@EUCommission
E riusciamo, almeno questo, a dirlo in più di una singola lingua?@Pare @EUCommission ma l'UE mi sembra molto attiva nel campo delle traduzioni, basta visitare i vari portali informativi dell'Unione. Poi se questo tipo di post sono in inglese, immagino sia per la maggiore visibilità linguistica, di certo non per far affronto alla nostra bella lingua romanza.

@EUCommission Top tier propaganda

So, what's your point? -
@faket @EUCommission
So, what's your point?@ASardinianAbroad @EUCommission My point is that, while some languages are promoted inside UE, some aren’t welcome.
So yes, unbreakable bond, if you’re white and do not come from too far away. -
On International Mother Language Day, we celebrate the rich linguistic and cultural diversity that defines our Union, as well as the importance of protecting and promoting mother tongues across Europe.
The EU is home to:
24 official languages
60 regional or minority languages spoken by 40 million peopleMultilingualism is a founding principle of our Union and part of what makes our continent so vibrant.
This diversity is our strength.
@EUCommission Maleïts hipòcrites.

@EUCommission yes, sure...just one problem here, catalan people still waiting...
Catalan is our language but you forget about us so you are not respecting our mothers and fathers language day. -

@EUCommission Muttersprache ist ok. Aber ich muss nicht überall meine Vatersprache sprechen sondern kann auch die Sprache meines Wohnortes lernen und dort sprechen .
Oder mann erfindet eine gemeinsame Einheitssprache für die EU, sowas wie Esperanto. Müsste dann aber überall in der Schule gelehrt werden.
Jedenfalls kein US-Englisch.

It's funny, that you post this in #English and solely in English. Which is the official language only in two member nations, #Irelande and #Malta, and even there second to #Irish and #Maltese, respectively.
I know, that my #Basque and #Catalan friends will not be happy: But how about declaring #Spanish THE official language of the #EU? It is the second largest language in number of native speakers after #Mandarin, and it's nine times the native speakers of English inside the EU.

If all these 55 languages were not welcome why is the state investing so much in giving kids access to tuition in their native languages?

@bluishgreen @ASardinianAbroad @EUCommission Because even if not welcome, some are passing through Frontex and other national borders.

Language represents the identity of a people, so I support the full recognition of all languages that define identity. -

Now we are accepting some others languages but some are well accepted, others not that much.
UE saying that "Multilingualism is a founding principle of our Union" while killing immigrants on the Mediterranean See is abject.

@kinkkong @EUCommission having only one official language would be equally wrong, since it's not representative of the multiculturalism of the EU. I agree that some languages are missing representation, but this should push for recognising them as official languages too, instead of choosing only one.

@EUCommission Ich wusste gar nicht, dass es diesen Tag gibt. Das finde ich, wie wir in Deutschland sagen würden, cool!
