(Abstract in VÃµro [vro], a language of Estonia, translated by Evar Saar.)

This chapter draws on a diachronic comparison of the language policies promoting regional language instruction in the historic VÃµrumaa area of southeastern Estonia. I consider policy developments and changes both between the two periods of my fieldwork (2001â2003 and 2013â2014) and across the pre-primary and primary levels to gain insights into the ways the Kosonen and Benson (this volume) framework can be applied. The analysis points to the permeability of the boundaries in Estonia between âabove, side, and belowâ and how a range of language policy actors âcategory-jump,â that is, how they move across levels (i.e., above, side, below) in terms of their professional affiliations across and within time periods. Individuals also âslideâ across the âsideâ from organization to organization. The chapter also explores the ways category jumping and sliding facilitate interdependence and interconnectedness among those involved in VÃµro language-in-education policy.
