How to Use the Digital Language Vitality Scale

The Digital Language Vitality Scale is an instrument developed within the framework of the Digital Language Diversity Project (www.dldp.eu) for estimating the degree of digital vitality of any given language. It aims to be an instrument for self-assessment of the digital vitality of any language, although it is aimed in particular at identifying current gaps, needs and requirements regarding the extent to which a language community is active/vital on digital media and devices so that adequate digital language planning can be done. This document instructs prospective adopters on how to best use it.
