“…Nevertheless, the use of French is not surprising as it was the new lingua franca of the time -it was used in politics, science and trade; it was the language of the French court, whose manners were copied by the European nobles. 75 For Frederik Hendrik, French was mother tongue, given his Huguenot mother. The letters in Dutch Downloaded by [University of California Santa Barbara] at 00:42 21 June 2016 had probably less of educational value and therefore are less frequent.…”

the orange-nassau family of the united Provinces of the netherlands played an important role in Early Modern political and cultural life of the country.

This article charts and tries to explain the changing use of ‘minority’ languages in Europe between the end of the Middle Ages and the 19th century. This period saw the beginnings of a decline in the use of certain dialects and separate languages, notably Irish and Scottish Gaelic, although some tongues such as Catalan and Welsh remained widely used. The article develops some models of the relationship between language and its social, economic and political context. That relationship was mediated through the availability of printed literature; the political (including military) relations between areas where different languages or dialects were spoken; the nature and relative level of economic development (including urbanization); the policy of the providers of formal education and that of the church on religious instruction and worship; and, finally, local social structures and power relationships. The focus is principally on western Europe, but material is also drawn from Scandinavia and from eastern and central Europe.
