Language ideologies surrounding the learning of historical minority languages
deserve more/closer attention because due to the strong nation state ideology, the
relation between majority and minority languages has long been problematic, and
native speakers of majority languages do not typically learn the languages of the
minorities voluntarily. This article discusses the language ideologies of voluntary
learners of Swedish and Hungarian in two contexts where these languages are
historical minority languages. Data was collected at evening courses in Oradea,
Romania and Jyväskylä, Finland on which a qualitative analysis was conducted. In
the analysis, an ethnographic and discourse analysis perspective was adopted, and
language ideologies were analyzed in their interactional form, acknowledging the
position of the researcher in the co-construction of language ideologies in the
interviews. The results show that the two contexts are very different, although
there are also similarities in the language ideologies of the learners which seem to
be significantly influenced by the prevailing historical discourses in place about the
use and role of these languages. In the light of resilient historical metanarratives, I
suggest that the challenges related to the learning of historical minority languages
lie in the historical construction of modern ethnolinguistic nation-states and the
present trajectories of such projects. At the same time, the learning of historical
languages in contemporary globalized socio-cultural contexts can build on new
post-national ideologies, such as the concept of learning historical languages as
commodities.
