This seminar examines the intersectionality of double/triple minoritisation of minority language speakers who are also LGBTQIA*. Languages considered in the programme include Irish, Welsh, Catalan, Galician, Silesian, Latinx speakers of Spanish and Breton. A variety of approaches are employed to explore the full spectrum of speaker typologies which are to be found across the minoritised language settings
