| | Minority group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Countries that have special provisions for minorities include China, Germany, India, Russia, and the United Kingdom (which does maintain the concept of a British supra-nation, however). | | | The term minority is unavoidably associated with the political movements which push for assimilation, in which the minority group sheds its distinctive traits and is absorbed into the dominant group. | | | Speakers of a legally-recognized minority language, for instance, might have the right to education or communication with the government in their mother tongue. |
