Includes bibliographical references (p. 994-1053) and indexes.

Language in Central Europe: An Overview -- The Broader Linguistic and Cultural Context of Central Europe -- PART I: CENTRAL EUROPEAN POLITICS AND LANGUAGES IN THE LONG NINETEENTH CENTURY -- ThePolish Case: From Natio to Nation -- The Hungarian Case: From Natio to the Ersatz Nation-state -- The Czech Case: From the Bohemian Slavophone Populus to Czech Nationalism and the Czechoslovak Nation-- The Slovak Case: From Upper Hungary's Slavophone populus to Slovak nationalism and the Czechoslovak nation -- PART II: NATIONALISMS AND LANGUAGE IN THE SHORT TWENTIETH CENTURY -- The Polish Nation: From a Multiethnic to an Ethnically Homogenous Nation-State -- The Hungarian Nation: From Hungary to Magyarorsázg -- The Czech Nation: Between Czechoslovak and Czech Nationalism -- The Slovak Nation: From Czechoslovakia to Slovakia.

Unlike anywhere else in the world, in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-century Central Europe national movements and politicians made language into the paramount instrument of politics, and of statehood and nationhoodlegitimization. In this order of things, each nation wishing to be recognized in the international arena must possess its own unique nationallanguage. When a nation is lucky enough tohave gained its own nation-state, not only is the national language to become the new polity's soleofficial language, what is more, it cannot be shared in that functionwith any other state across the globe. During the Twentieth century, this specifically Central European deification of language justified thedestruction of entire states deemed as 'non-national', vast unprecedented border changes,and instances of ethnic cleansing involving tens ofmillions. The violent parallel break-ups of Yugoslavia and Serbo-Croatia bear witness to the continuing destructive potential of language politicization.
