Minority language
means
• Unofficial or minority language status.
• Few speakers and even less writers.
• Partially used in schools/universities.
• Few media using it.• Oral transmission is more
important than the written one.
• Absence of references and studies in that language or even about it.
• Language standardization usually still in discussion.
