Cultural mosaic

Multi-lingual sign outside the mayor's office in Novi Sad, written in the four official languages of the city: Serbian, Hungarian, Slovak, and Pannonian Rusyn.

"Cultural mosaic" (French: "la mosaïque culturelle") is the mix of ethnic groups, languages, and cultures that coexist within society.[1][2] The idea of a cultural mosaic is intended to suggest a form of multiculturalism as seen in Canada, [3][4] that differs from other systems such as the melting pot, which is often used to describe nations like the United States' assimilation.[5][6][3]
