Use and Maintenance of Kannada in the United States. 14. Language, Ethnicity, and Socialisation in the Gujarati Diaspora in the United States. Index. The People s Linguistic Survey of India provides an overview of the extant and dying languages of India, as perceived by their speakers. It is the culmination of a nation-wide survey of languages, documented by linguists, writers, social activists and, most importantly, members of different speech communities. The work chronicles the evolution of these languages until 2011 and incorporates their socio-political and cultural dimensions. Critically, it encapsulates the world view of the speakers of the languages. Diasporic communities strive to find or forge a language that speaks of their specific cultural experience, which is a blend of loss and discovery. Diaspora language, therefore, is characterised by both resilience and compliance. Considering the heterogeneity of the Indian diaspora, it is not surprising that the status of Indian languages varies significantly in different diasporic locations. The contributors to the present volume, who are located in different parts of the world, explore a range of language situations and histories. They provide a conceptual overview of native languages in non-native lands, and analyses of one language in multiple locations, multiple languages in one location, and other such complex contexts. The volume covers language situations in locations such as Trinidad, East Africa, USA, Canada, Singapore and the Arabian Gulf. This volume, the forty-seventh in the series People s Linguistic Survey of India, seeks to capture the language experience in a diasporic location, and to offer a snapshot, a state-of-the-language report.

This nineteenth volume of the People s Linguistic Survey of India attempts to document the languages of the State of Meghalaya, beginning at the grassroots and involving speakers from all walks of life, so as to bring to readers the linguistic and cultural heritage of the state. Apart from the dominant languages spoken in the state, Khasi, Pnar and Garo, the varieties of these languages too are described in great detail. Care has been taken to record the voices of the informants in the true nature of the survey, so that the volume is not a mere cataloguing of languages, but mirrors the spirit and world view of the speakers. For languages are an extension of people s existence and being. In the discussions about the languages, there is information about their contemporary status, while the sections on the main languages also contain information about their historical evolution and structural aspects. The linguistic maps included in the volume also give a general idea of areas where the main languages are spoken. It is hoped that this volume will not only engage the reader, but will also stand as testimony to a people s search for their roots.

The People s Linguistic Survey of India provides an overview of the extant and dying languages of India, as perceived by their speakers. It is the culmination of a nation-wide survey of languages, documented by linguists, writers, social activists and, most importantly, members of different speech communities. The work chronicles the evolution of these languages until 2011, and incorporates their socio-political and cultural dimensions. Critically, it encapsulates the world view of the speakers of the languages. The state of West Bengal is unique in that the languages spoken in the state belong to four different language families Austroasiatic, Dravidian, Indo-European and Tibeto-Burman. The geographical location of the state and its contiguity with other states and countries contributes to the wide variety and richness of languages in the state. The Languages of West Bengal documents not only the five Scheduled languages spoken in the state (Bangla, Bodo, Santhali, Nepali and Urdu) but also 23 Non-Scheduled languages spoken there. This volume also includes a chapter on nine endangered languages of north Bengal.

The union territory of Diu & Daman and Dadra & Nagar Haveli is closely associated with the state as well. Due to years of migratory influences, this vast area is a melting pot of people, cultures and languages, and this makes it uniquely diverse. Though Gujarati is spoken by the majority, there are a number of languages that make up the linguistic matrix. This volume of the People's Linguistic Survey of India, The Languages of Gujarat, Diu & Daman and Dadra & Nagar Haveli (volume nine, part two) sheds light on not just Gujarati and its varieties, but also other Scheduled and Non-Scheduled languages, Tribal languages, and most importantly, the languages of Denotified, Nomadic and Coastal communities in use in the state as well as the union territory. It is hoped that the volume will draw attention to the distinct linguistic environment and the harmony with which these languages coexist in this part of the country.
