This study analysed the opinions of Sindhis in Pune below 35 years of age who admitted to having undergone such language shift, as to why this shift has occurred, and to what extent English is responsible for it. The results showed that learning or using a language, in the eyes of the informants, depended on the necessity of, exposure to and prestige associated with that language. It emerged that English ranked highly and Sindhi ranked low on all three parameters. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Asian Journal of English Studies, 2(3), p. 48-69 | Publisher: | Institute of Advanced Studies in English | Place of Publication: | India | ISSN: | 2277-3606 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200405 Language in Culture and Society (Sociolinguistics) 200209 Multicultural, Intercultural and Cross-cultural Studies 200315 Indian Languages |
