Language policy in Central Asia, Afghanistan and the immediately surrounding neighboring countries has a long and varied history. The Iranian revolution of 1978, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan since 2001 have left the area in a state of flux. This volume gives a better picture about what is official and explicit, what is not official but implicit or general practice, and what the likely future developments might be. It is very clear that multilingualism, whether it involves Persian, Russian or English in addition to other languages, not only has long been a part of the scene, but will probably continue to be so. 410 0$aBrill's Studies in South and Southwest Asian Languages$v2. 606 $aLanguage planning$zAsia, Central 606 $aLanguage planning$zAfghanistan 607 $aAsia, Central$xLanguages$xPolitical aspects 607 $aAfghanistan$xLanguages$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aLanguage planning 615 0$aLanguage planning 676 $a306.44/958 701 $aSchiffman$b Harold F$0165913 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965511203321 996 $aLanguage policy and language conflict in Afghanistan and its neighbors$94322413 997 $aUNINA
