Languages of Europe and nationalisms

Europe, because of the Depression, experiencing a period of decline, including in areas particularist European states. Political groups and even some people make blackmail independence. This reveals a selfish, because people think that the cake will be for them. Except that these potential new states will have to fend for themselves. In addition, the EU has made it clear that they should apply for entry into the Union, and if one country makes a veto, they will not return. In addition, the EU has insisted on the integrity of European states.This means, it comes back on it as the way to Europe, it is the political and linguistic development, in light of autonomy, but it can not go further.To perpetuate and develop language, regional culture, of course. Same as some people are particularistic groups (Breton, Corsican, ...) and even nations (Scottish, Welsh ...). This does not mean that we must secede. This is sometimes what I say to comrades of Québec who are sovereignitists -and I'm not often understood-, their case is different: a minority language in North America facing the ocean English. And yet, probably that Quebecers do not want independence for economic reasons.To give an idea of ​​the magnitude of the gravity and idiocy if the phenomenon is, here already the list of non-immigrant European languages, plus the Caucasus and Turkey. The Caucasus alone has thirty language! So much so that the Arabs in the eighth century called "Mountain of the Languages".I said: it is not that each linguistic group or linguistic-regional (including dialects have shaped an entire province for centuries) will automatically request an application independence. Most would never ask. But if someone believes that a country like France even unit is monolingual and it does not cover the reality of aggregation of identities and regional particularities, it is mistaken. Each province had its usual French court, for example, she had her own language, lifestyle. Some entities became independent for less than that. This is the course of political history who has decided otherwise.

If we wanted to ... play the sorcerer's apprentice, instead of the 42 states mentioned (45 if we add San Marino, Monaco and the Vatican), it goes ... at least 117 countries and I do not count all regions claiming a language or dialect ...It continues like this in this delirium tremens or we return to reason?Right to self or no self-determination (except New Caledonia, because this country has seen overseas in 1988, a treaty recognized by the government and separatist parties kanaques and that it is legitimate 'there is a referendum in 2014), this process, this spiral can not be reduced to a Pandora's box. If you open it, we do not know what will happen, perhaps irremediable. Europe needs stability, it is certainly not the headlong rush towards the false myth and utopian "paradise independence" that will solve it. Depression will be the same, unemployment will remain the same, the grass is not greener ...It is just a warning, a tocsin for a united Europe quickly found a solid economic and political project. Or if not, we will sink for long.
