21st Century Hungarian Language Survival in Transylvania. Edited by Judith Kesserű Némethy. Helena History Press, 2015.

The book examines the present-day situation of Hungarian as minority language in Romania. It is an important addition to the study of the Hungarian language in the Diaspora that should be of interest not only to linguists and sociolinguists but to historians and political or social scientists, educators, and dialectologists as well. The problems presented, although referring specifically to the Hungarian language in Romania today, have parallels across borders and across all languages spoken by minorities. One of the authors is Attila Z. Papp, Director of Institute for Minority Studies, Centre for Social Sciences, Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
