“…The visibility and use of the Karelian language on the internet and social media have been investigated in several studies. The use of Karelian online has been investigated from the perspectives of translation studies, linguistic landscape, and language ideologies (Moshnikov 2016, Kuusi, Koskinen & Riionheimo 2019, Giloeva & Kok 2021, Moshnikov 2022). Karelian along with Basque, Breton and Sardinian was part of the Digital Language Diversity Project 2015-2018 (DLDP).…”

This article looks to analyze the use of the Karelian language on the internet and especially on social media platforms. The study is based on a survey carried out among Karelian speakers at the end of 2021. The survey was implemented in the Karelian language and received 161 responses, mostly from Finland, but also from Russia and other countries. The survey consists of questions related to the use of Karelian in daily life and online. The benefits, challenges, and needs related to the use of Karelian online are also explored. The results show that 40% of the respondents use the Karelian language online on a daily basis. Karelian is visible on all of the popular social media platforms, with the most popular being Facebook and Instagram, although the use of TikTok is still rare. However, it is considered that popular social media platforms would benefit from more content in Karelian, in order to support the visibility and revitalization of the Karelian language. Kokkuvõte. Ilia Moshnikov: Karjala keele kasutus veebis: hetkeseis ja väljakutsed. Artikkel analüüsib karjala keele kasutust internetis, keskendudes eriti sotsiaalmeedia platvormidele. Uurimus põhineb andmetel, mis on kogutud karjala keele kõnelejatelt 2021. a lõpus. Küsitlusele vastas 161 informanti, peamiselt Soomest, aga ka Venemaalt ja mujalt. Küsitlus oli koostatud karjala keeles. Esitatud küsimused puudutavad karjala keele kasutamist igapäevaelus ja veebis. Uuritakse ka seda, mida peetakse karjala keele veebis kasutamisel kasulikuks, mida aga väljakutseks, samuti vajadusi, mis karjala keele veebis kasutamisel esile tõusevad. Tulemused näitavad, et 40% vastanutest kasutab karjala keelt veebis igapäevaselt. Karjala keel on esil kõikidel populaarsetel sotsiaalmeedia platvormidel, mille hulgast tõusevad esile Facebook ja Instagram. Seevastu TikTokis kasutatakse karjala keelt veel harva. Peetakse vajalikuks, et populaarsetel sotsiaalmeedia platvormidel oleks rohkem karjalakeelset sisu, sest see toetaks karjala keele nähtavust ja revitalisatsiooni.

Unlike physical linguistic landscapes, virtual linguistic landscapes (VLL) target speakers who are not confined to a geographical area. Hence, a linguistic landscape created in cyberspace is expected to be multilingual, not English monolingual, regardless of the geographical backgrounds of its creators. Yet, different entrepeneurs may have diverging linguistic preferences when creating a VLL. Hence, the current paper provides, to the best of the writer’s knowledge, a first report on the linguistic choices of Arabic-speaking enterpreneurs in a VLL. The study explores the linguistic choices of 400 randomly selected businesses of Saudi entrepreneurs, listed on a local business website (Maroof). Data from three fields, the business name, logo, and description, were classified as either Arabic monolingual, English monolingual, or multilingual. The multilingual signs were further classified following Reh (2004): duplicating, complementary, fragmentary, and overlapping. The results show that the polled sample had varying preferences depending on the genre of the text. Business names were mostly duplicating, while business logos were mostly English monolingual and business descriptions were predominantly written in Arabic only. Since the data showed a great deal of inconsistency across different text genres, the results call for more systematic analyses of VLLs that pay more attention to the genre of the text rather than to the linguistic backgrounds of those who created these landscapes.

Toisaalta kielimaiseman käsitettä on käytetty myös laajemmassa mielessä viittaamaan siihen puhuttuun ja kirjoitettuun kielelliseen ympäristöön, joka erityisesti monikelisessä yhteisössä esimerkiksi tietyllä maantieteellisellä alueella voidaan havaita (Kreslins 2003).…”

This introduction article discusses language vitality and language diversity in connection with linguistic well-being, which were the main ideas reflected behind the theme of the AFinLA Autumn Symposium 2018, “Keeping languages alive”. Linguistic well-being is a new concept that addresses the issues related to language policy and linguistic practices within a speech community and how these impact the individual members of that community. Among the main factors behind linguistic well-being we find linguistic human rights, which emphasize, for example, the right for anyone to identify with one or more languages without being discriminated and the right for basic education in one’s own language. These rights are particularly linked to how endangered and minority languages are treated in the society and they can be actively promoted by language policy and education. However, linguistic well- being is not just a matter of minorities but it affects the whole community. The more diverse the language environment and linguistic landscape of a speech community is, the healthier and more affluent the whole community is – both its minority and majority language speakers.
