Language and Language Policy in Transcarpathia between the Two World Wars

Summary/Abstract: The official names and titles in the whole or in certain parts of Transcarpathia seen as a historical-geographical region, have often been adjusted to those used in Budapest, Prague or Kiev, which in itself tells us a lot about the nature of the different periods and systems. People who were living there always had to get integrated into the new system while each of the new regimes without exception incorporated or liquidated subsystems formed in the previous period. Language has always had a key role in the self-identification of nation states and individuals – as well as in the peculiar formations of regional and ethnical identity.
