The article is devoted to the role of bilingualism in language relations. The problems of bilingualism and diglossia are of particular importance in modern linguistics. This process is a special form of interlingual communication. The history of bilingualism goes back to earlier times than language policy. The history of bilingualism cannot be traced back to the pre-state period. Language policy is also crucial for the development of bilingualism. This fact is connected with the establishment of the state. Bilingualism came after the establishment of the state and a single language. The language of only one of the tribes received official status, and the remaining tribes were forced to learn the dominant language. Other high-ranking tribes became bilingual by learning the language of the ruling tribe.

What are those threats and challenges that languages face in a time of globalization, when progress and prosperity speaks the dominant language? And how far can they avoid the influences of the most widely spoken languages? How can languages participate in intercultural dialogue and keep their language identity at the same time? The paper provides an attempt to answer these questions and focuses on the example of the Georgian language, spoken by approximately 4 million people. The example of Georgian is significant for several reasons: a) it is an official language of Georgia, a country with great language diversity and therefore, as an official language its policy is designed to protect other regional and ethnic languages; b) on the other hand, Georgian can be considered as a language whose viability is under threat. The paper presents a picture of the historical background, describes the threats existing during and after the Soviet regime. It also concentrates on the current situation, language policy and current challenges.

The One

Arabic became a minority language in Israel in 1948, as a result of the Palestinian exodus from their land that year. Although it remains an official language, along with Hebrew, Israel has made continued attempts to marginalise Arabic on the one hand, and secutise it on the other. The book delves into these tensions and contradictions, exploring how language policy and language choice both reflect and challenge political identities of Arabs and Israelis. It combines qualitative methods not commonly used together in the study of Arabic in Israel, including ethnography, interviews with journalists and students, media discussions, and analysis of the production of knowledge on Arabic in Israeli academia.
