description [Summary generated by Poe] This special issue of "Babylonia" presents the proceedings of the III Conference on Plurilingualism held at Monte Verità, focusing on the theme "Other Languages in Switzerland." The contributions explore the sociolinguistic landscape of Switzerland, highlighting the increasing presence of non-territorial languages among various immigrant communities.   Georges Lüdi discusses the status of migrants as linguistic minorities and examines the integration of languages in the Swiss context. Ludo Verhoeven provides insights from the Netherlands, advocating for biliteracy education in multicultural societies, while Cristina Allemann-Ghionda addresses the challenges faced by "small languages" versus "big languages" in education systems.   Francesca Antonini analyzes the use of non-territorial languages in Wettingen, revealing significant trends in multilingualism among German speakers. Bruno Moretti and Stephan Schmid examine Italian as a lingua franca for Spanish-speaking immigrants in the German-speaking regions of Switzerland, emphasizing its role in communication and integration.   The issue also includes a discussion on the importance of preserving linguistic diversity and the need for educational policies that support both heritage and host languages. The overall message underscores the growing complexity of Switzerland’s linguistic landscape, driven by migration and cultural interactions.
