[edit] The Netherlands as an Example?
The Dutch may be shifting to English. For example, university classes there are now all taught in English, not Dutch any longer. Should this be added to the article? 71.34.146.193 (talk) 19:12, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think so. In case some Dutch families decided to speak to their babies in English rather than in Dutch (or Frisian, etc.), then it should be added. --Jotamar (talk) 17:10, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] France, Italy and Germany
We need sections about language shift in those countries. Those countries, especially France, are probably the best example of recent and, in many cases, successful language shift from the dozens of regional languages to the "foreign" so-called standard language. --Belchman (talk) 13:02, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
