dc.description.abstract	Stephen May holds that language rights have been insufficiently recog-nized, or just rejected as problematic, in human rights theory and practice. Defending the “human rights approach to language rights”, he claims that language rights should be accorded the status of fundamental human rights, recognized as such by states and international organizations. This article ar-gues that the notion of language rights is far from clear. According to May, one key reason for rejecting the claim that language rights should be consid-ered human rights is the widespread belief that language rights are collec-tive rights. In order to address this kind of objection, the collective character attributed to language rights must be carefully assessed, distinguishing two different views of what a collective right is	es
