1. Introduction
The study has three main aims. First, the UNESCO has promoted the language diversity recently and the language diversity has become hot topic recently. Many activities and policies were set up based on this issue. The language diversity can protect the culture diversity in some way. The UNESCO is an important organization in the world, and its policy has a profound effect on the world language policy. Second, the European Union (EU) language policy diversity is particularly characterized and distinctive when it is compared with the others. The EU always takes the lead in all efforts in language policy. The EU has set a good example for others to draw up their own language policy. It is worth spending the time to studying this issue. Third, we do not pay enough attention and time to study the language diversity of the EU. Few specialists conduct their researches on the EU language policy; they often pay their attention studying the language policy of a single country instead of a special organization like EU. In fact, many Chinese specialists study the language policy of the foreign countries, like American and England. There is a gap for Chinese in the study of the language policy; it is necessary and significant for specialists in our country to study this issue.
