Conference on the Languages of Smaller Populations

The Hungarian Institute in Tallinn, the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, the Non-Profit Organization Fenno-Ugria and the European Comission Representation in Estonia have organized a conference which focused on the different aspects of fear that coincide with losing one's mother tongue.
