The loneliness of writers in minority languages

Comparative literature has explored very little of the Balkan area, and Balkan writers, also known as Southeast European writers, including Macedonian writers, have not been well received or studied, despite international renown and even Nobel prizes (Ivo Andrić, 1961).

Japanese

This page has been translated automatically. Japanese is the language spoken throughout the Japanese archipelago. However, no law gives it official status, although it is the language of official documents and education. Japanese is also used by the Japanese diaspora (notably in Brazil and Peru). There is a standard language, but also, depending on the region, dialectal variants, some of which are still very much alive. The only other language to be found is Ainu, on the island of Hokkaido, which survives among an extremely small number of speakers.
