A regional language is a spoken in an area of a, whether it be a small area, a  or  or some wider area.

Internationally, for the purposes of the, "regional or minority languages" means languages that are:
 * 1) traditionally used within a given territory of a State by nationals of that State who form a group numerically smaller than the rest of the State's population and
 * 2) different from the official language(s) of that State

Recognition of regional or minority languages must not be confused with recognition as an official language.
