"Throughout its history The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has employed various means to cope with the challenges connected with linguistic plurality. When Mormon converts have left their native lands to gather with the main body of Saints in America, language differences have often impeded their attempts to unite with the larger Church community. This paper examines the LDS Church's language policy and programs associated with the first major group of minority language speakers to join the main body of the Latter-day Saints--the Scandinavian immigrants who came to Utah between 1850 and 1935. This examination of LDS Church language policies and programs developed for the early Scandinavian immigrants may allow contemporary questions regarding the language challenges faced by immigrant converts, as well as the Church's policy toward them, to be seen in a clearer light."
