ИСТИНА

The modern epoch of globalization has created a new tendency in the processes of national development: ethnic groups usually start language movements in case they feel economically and/or politically depressed and hope to gain some priviledges deemed to become the successful results of this movement. The situation is thus absolutely different from what can be observed in the historical processes of national development in Europe where in almost every country the developing bourgeoisie has first of all made efforts to standardize and promote its mother tongue considering it to be the main means of national formation.
