Multilingualism and society

The paper presents the evolution of the attitude to multilingualism on the part of society and state authority. The principle of multilingualism is gaining support at all levels, including the internal life of the ethnically heterogeneous nations. The problems of overcoming the traditional stereotype thinking, which regards monolingualism as a norm and multilingualism as a deviation from the norm, are shown on the example of some countries where multilingualism has a legislative basis.
