The information about the Basque language is very far from being correct. It is said: "The Basque language is considered to be a low language in Spain, where, until about 1982, the Basque language was not used in administration.[43] In 1978, a law was passed allowing for Basque to be used in administration side by side with Spanish in the Basque autonomous communities.[43]" It is false. LAter they say: "Between 1935 and 1975, the period of Franco’s régime, the use of Basque was strictly prohibited". I for one went to a Basque and completely legal school during Franquism. It is true that the recognition of the language was far from being satisfactory, but it wasnt "strictly prohibited". In fact the meetings to unify Basque dialects take place... in Spain in the 60s. And many books were issued in this language. Gabriel Aresti, a Basque poet, won the National Price.

" ETA had initially begun as a nonviolent group to promote Basque language and culture.[46] However, when its demands were not met, it turned violent and evolved into violent separatist groups.". Who wrote this? Did he read something about ETA????? It was violent from the begining. Funny enough the Basque competence of most of its members was near to 0. Basque language is far from being discriminated. In fact, that hypothesis would not match with the fact of Basque Nationalist parties being in power since the last 30 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.44.90.126 (talk) 20:42, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
There is quite a bit of discussion of the UDHR on this page however it is presented as though it's pure description of what is directly stated in the UDHR, however, this is not the case. In the sub-section "Individual linguistic rights" there is what looks like straight quotes of Articles 2, 10, 19, and 26 but they are actually an interpretation of how those articles may be used in reference to linguistic rights, but there are no citations to back up those interpretations. In general, the UDHR is less important than the say the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which is far more direct in addressing the question of language.

On another note, why are there so many case studies on this page, the Poland one is literally just referencing that it signed onto the ECRML. There is most definitely some thinning, reorganizing, and refocusing that can be done on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheLastScholarOfGOLB (talk • contribs) 16:56, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
