Abstract
In the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy, the relationship between the activity of the imperial chancellery and local administration, where language diversity was at its highest point, was hardly thought of before the era of nationalism. The certification of deeds had to be done in German or in Latin. This principle required the recruitment of many sworn interpreters. The use of translation turned out to be very expensive in outlying regions. For this reason, this system was completed by two other mechanisms based on the linguistic skills of imperial officers: the registration of private documents issued in a court language – Italian or French – and the awkward use of the so-called ‘national’ languages, such as Hungarian, Serbian, or Romanian, as oral languages of command. This dual system became rapidly obsolete due to legislative inflation. However, it contributed to the political legitimation of the coexistence of the Emperor’s language and that of his subjects.
