Minority language standardisation (MLS) may generate a new type of slur for those who cannot fulfill the new codified standard (Lane 2011).

Insights are applied to (Northern Norway) Kven standardisation, with a special focus on how standard users are inscribed and configured, standards' lockout results and non-users' positions.
