Abstract
This chapter examines the attitudes and positioning practices of Bohemian noblewomen of the early modern period in relation to their first language and to multilingual repertoires and settings as part of their regional as well as their state environment. The examination of the private correspondence of these privileged women with regard to the explicit mentioning of languages and multilingualism brings to light statements on the necessity and benefits of multilingualism, emphasises the role of languages as markers of identity with a certain social prestige and testifies to the letter writers' reflections on their own linguistic competence and their individual means of expression. A selection of characteristic examples from the correspondence is given for each of these areas.
