Southeastern Europe and the Southern Caucasus share numerous similarities in the sociodynamic importance of their languages. This paper asks which features illustrate this and provides a few examples. We assume that internal and external factors always accompany standardization issues, minority language treatment, and geographic language distribution. Thus, we emphasize these similarities between Southeast Europe and the South Caucasus and analyze them from linguistic, cultural, semiotic, and political perspectives.
