  • Concerns about the gap between increase in knowledge (40 %) and increase in usage (4 %) in the last 30 years

  • Scattering of speakers as a key factor limiting usage

  • Mediated interactions as a characteristic of our times

  • Case study: Berria newspaper

  • Conclusions: media as a way for integration of new speakers

Over 50 % among young people (16-35)

Sociolinguistic Survey: population over 16, Basque Country

Factors for usage of minority language
