The International Association of Language Commissioners, founded in 2013, is made up from 11 international Language Commissioner Offices. The Association’s mission refers to their aim “to support and advance language rights, equality and diversity throughout the world… by advising or assisting the establishment of Language Commissioners offices.”  The letter (attached below) has been unanimously signed by all member organisations and was issued to Conradh na Gaeilge recently. The letter reads:‘...one of our aims is “to support regions that wish to create a position of language commissioner or advance language rights”... In our view language commissioners can be central in the protection and preservation of a language that is spoken by a minority. One of our most important values is that language commissioners be independent in fulfilling their duties.’
