What is it about?
The study examines the linguistic landscape of the territories of Transcarpathia (Ukraine) which are mostly inhabited by Hungarians in the context of language and economy. It will be presented how economically prestigious world languages, English and Russian are displayed in this region. We show that economic realities suppress the nationalism of the minority int he linguistic landscape. We note that the language policy in support of the language maintenance of the national minority cannot be successful if it is not related to the development of the economy. If we want to improve the economic situation of the Hungarians of Transcarpathia in a multilingual environment, the teaching of languages is one of the areas where it is necessary to invest.
