Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to discuss the virtual linguistic landscape of Hungarian, Serbian, Slovak, and German minority schools in Romania. The research set out to analyse the multilingual traits of each school’s website by using the criteria of the website analysis and the theory of general linguistic landscape and the theory of schoolscape and cyberscape, as well. The paper focuses on the following research questions: What languages are displayed on the official website of the schools?; To what extent are these websites multilingual?; What role does each language play? The analysis will provide a general picture of the linguistic cyberscapes of the above mentioned schools and will discuss the roles of each language (minority language, state language, and foreign languages) in the construction of these virtual landscapes. Finally, the paper offers a comparative analysis of all the investigated school websites.
