Acknowledgements
The guest editors and Minorités linguistiques et société=Linguistic Minorities and Society would like to thank all of the authors who contributed to this international thematic issue. The guest editors started planning this journal issue in 2018, and it took almost one and a half years to produce. During this period, all potential authors have been committed to providing timely and efficient submissions and edits. Their contributions offer a unique look at the situation in their own country, in terms of how legislation, policy, intervention, civil action and real access to health and social services in official and co-official languages are intertwined. These submissions also provide interesting insights into the outcomes of several novel interventions.
We would also like to thank the anonymous reviewers who took the time to assess each of the articles and provide the authors with valuable feedback, as well as Solange van Kemenade, the coordinator of this thematic issue.
Finally, we thank the Institut de Savoir Montfort, Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) and the University of Ottawa and Institut du savoir Montfort Research Chair on the Health of Francophones for funding this publication. By doing so, they encourage ongoing efforts to produce knowledge within this field.
Finally, we hope that this international thematic issue will offer readers a source of new knowledge and inspiration for research and activism on official and co-official language rights.

Remerciements
Les rédacteurs invités et la revue Minorités linguistiques et société=Linguistic Minorities and Society désirent remercier tous les auteurs et les autrices qui ont contribué à ce numéro thématique international. Les rédacteurs invités ont commencé à planifier ce numéro en 2018 et il a fallu près d’un an et demi pour le produire. Au cours de cette période, tous les auteurs potentiels se sont engagés à fournir leur texte et leurs corrections en temps opportun et de manière efficace. Leurs articles posent un regard particulier sur la situation qui existe dans leur pays, en examinant comment la législation, les politiques, les interventions, l’action citoyenne et l’accès réel sont indissociables. Ces articles fournissent également des points de vue intéressants sur les résultats de plusieurs interventions novatrices.
Nous voulons remercier également les lecteurs anonymes qui ont pris le temps d’évaluer chacun des articles et de faire part aux auteurs de leurs précieux commentaires, ainsi que Solange van Kemenade, la coordonnatrice de ce numéro thématique.
En dernier lieu, nous remercions l’Institut du savoir Montfort, le Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) et la Chaire de recherche de l’Université d’Ottawa et de l’Institut du savoir Montfort sur la santé des francophones de l’Ontario d’avoir financé la présente publication. Ce faisant, ils encouragent les efforts soutenus qui sont déployés pour produire des connaissances dans ce domaine.
Enfin, nous espérons que ce numéro thématique international procurera aux lecteurs une source de nouvelles connaissances et qu’il inspirera la recherche et l’activisme sur les droits relatifs aux langues officielles et coofficielles.
