Without even considering the 150 Aboriginal languages still spoken,
Australia has an unparalleled mix of languages other than English
in common usage, languages often described by the term 'community'.
Drawing on census data and other statistics, this book addresses
the current suitation of community languages in Australia,
analysing which are spoken, by whom, and whereabouts. It focuses on
three main issues: how languages other than English are maintained
in an English speaking environment, how the structure of the
languages themselves changes over time, and how the government has
responded to such ethnolinguistic diversity. At a time of
unprecedented awareness of these languages within society and a
realisation of the importance of mutlilingualism in business, this
book makes a significant contribution to understanding the role of
community languages in shaping the future of Australian society.
