Eestimaa Rahvuste Ühendus

The team "Estimaa Rahvuste Ühendus ", in German "Estonian compound of Nations", is representing the linguistic minority of Estonia and its people. Barely 70% of the approximately 1.5 million residents are Estonians, the rest consists of more than 100 nationalities. According to the census of 2000, 109 languages ​​are recently spoken in Estonia. Russians are representing the largest minority group with nearly 26%, followed by Ukrainians (2.1%), Belarussians (1.2%), Finns (0.8%), Germans, Latvians and Polish. The composition of the population has been affected by various historical events. The Second World War and the subsequent Soviet occupation led to significant changes in the population structure. The migration policy brought after the war a Sovietization with new populations from various regions of the Soviet Union. After the independence of the Republic of Estonia, in 1993 the legal status of minorities was added to the Constitution, and they finally became a cultural autonomy. Coupled with this are the promotion of language by mother tongue education. Estonia is one of the few states, where in addition to the schools in the state language, a school network in minority languages ​​is part of the state funded public education system.
