Nationalist movements aimed at 'unification', based upon languages which vary greatly at the spoken level, e.g. German, Italian, Pan-Turkish and Arabic, have been associated with aggression, fascism and genocide, while those based upon relatively homogeneous spoken languages, e.g. Czech, Norwegian and Ukrainian, have resulted in national liberation and international stability. It is also shown that religion can be more important to national identity than language, but only for religious groups which were understood in premodern times to be national rather than universal or doctrinal, e.g. Jews, Armenians, Maronites, Serbs, Dutch and English; this is demonstrated with discussions of the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, the civil war in Lebanon and the breakup of Yugoslavia, the United Netherlands and the United Kingdom. 410 0$aDiscourse approaches to politics, society, and culture ;$vv. 21. 606 $aNationalism$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aNationalism$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aLanguage and languages$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aLanguage and languages$xReligious aspects$xIslam 607 $aEurope$xLanguages$xPolitical aspects 607 $aMiddle East$xLanguages$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory. 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 676 $a306.44094 700 $aMyhill$b John$f1956-$01594473 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828405703321 996 $aLanguage, religion and national identity in Europe and the Middle East$94033814 997 $aUNINA
