In my paper I have analysed strategies of language-usage in
borderlands through several case-studies. A number of
contexts are presented which are constituted as a result of
border land language strategies which are accompanying the
micro economical processes. Referring exclusively to the
adjacent areas of the triple border, the different registers
of the language usage of Ukrainian and Romanian in Hungary,
Ukrainian in Romanian Szatmár and Romanian in Transcarpathia,
are natural consequences of the local cross-border migration.
There is a causality between the border usage and the
language usage. More the borders are permeable the more
multilingual localities will turn out in force.
