Abstract:
This paper examines a scenario of possible language shift in the multilingual village of Hopkins, where the two most commonly used languages are both ‘minority’ languages: Garifuna, now endangered in many of the communities where it was once spoken, and Belizean Creole (Kriol), an unofficial national lingua franca in Belize. It offers a qualitative examination of beliefs about the three primary languages spoken in the community (Garifuna, Kriol, and English) with data gathered from sociolinguistic interviews and surveys in four rural Garifuna communities in Belize. It situates these findings o

Abstract This study is an examination of style-shifting in the speech of a single interviewer conducting sociolinguistic interviews in Garifuna (Arawak), an endangered language spoken in Belize and along the eastern coast of Central America. It provides a case study of intraspeaker variation in the context of language shift, exploring how the models and principles of intraspeaker variation hold in the social context of language shift scenarios, and framing language shift scenarios as particular contexts of performativity where cultural identity is highlighted. The focus of the paper is on the

Abstract:
This article explores the effects of ethnic stereotypes, demographic shifts, and nationalism on language choice in the town of Dangriga, Belize. Dangriga was founded during the nineteenth century by members of an ethnic minority of West African and Native American heritage, known as the Garinagu or Garifuna. Today, it is a multilingual and multiethnic town populated primarily by Garinagu, Belizean Creoles, and both native-born and foreign-born Spanish speakers. In this context, language choice is in part a question of affiliation with a variety of ethnic and national identities. This article e

Abstract:
English is the official language of Belize used in the conduct of official government business and as the standard in public education. However, English is not the primary language spoken in Belizean households nor in the conduct of local business transactions. Belize is a polyglot nation inclusive of European-based languages, native languages, and creole languages. In this paper, we demonstrate the economic returns to language acquisition and usage in Belize using census 2000 data.

Abstract:
SummaryData from the 1991 Belize Family Health Survey show differentials in the use of maternal and child health services between ethnic groups (Creole, Mestizo, Maya/Ketchi and Garifuna). Multivariate analysis is used to explore whether such differentials can truly be attributed to ethnicity or to other characteristics that distinguish the ethnic groups. Health services considered are: family planning, place of delivery (hospital/other), postpartum and newborn check-ups after a birth, and immunisations for children. The language usually spoken in the household is found to be important for int

Abstract:
Garifuna (cab, ISO 639-3) is spoken by the Garifuna people (previously known as Black Caribs and currently also by the plural Garinagu – Cayetano 1993), who reside along the Caribbean coast of Central America in communities in Belize, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua, as well as in a large immigrant population in the United States. Population estimates in the literature for Garifuna speakers worldwide vary widely, but Aikhenvald (1999: 72) estimated between 30 and 100,000 speakers of the language. The latest census in Belize reports a population of 19,639 people who report at least one of the

In this study, the perceptions of 42 teachers—from the Stann Creek District, Belize—regarding the implementation and use of Intercultural Bilingual Education (IBE) as a language preservation tool in their schools were examined. Intercultural Bilingual Education (IBE) is a teaching method that aims at promoting the preservation of indigenous languages by integrating an indigenous language and culture into the academic curriculum, such that students can develop a better appreciation of their history and traditional practices.

Abstract:
Garifuna voluntary soccer clubs, folkloric dance groups, and social organizations’ cultural events led Garifuna functions in the city the 1990s to present. Some groups were short-lived while others became established in the community, evolving from previous years. Their organization activities facilitate their gathering together and engaging in their language and culinary traditions, part of their identity. This is evident in their annual parade event in the Bronx, which also allows non-Garifuna to learn about their culture. Their parade association leads this event, which is one of many Garifuna groups that started during this period. Also, at this point in time Garifuna leaders continued discussing different perspectives about their ethnic classification and origins. Growth in scholarly research and social media access motivated Garifuna discussions on their heritage. The organizations flourishing during this period sustain the argument that Garifuna’s establishing different groups sustains their culture and subsistence.

Abstract:
The Garifuna population is diverse in generations, nationality, and language proficiency (Garifuna, Spanish, or English). Many assimilated into African American society becoming popular sports, rap, and hip-hop figures. This is similar to other Black immigrants’ subsequent generations who also identify as African Americans. As residents in socioeconomically marginalized NYC communities, Garifuna youth experience the same challenges as Black and Latinos. In addition, Garifuna organizations face obstacles to overcome to become more effective in addressing their concerns. In spite of challenges many Garifuna have achieved high ranks in the military, education, and working in government agencies. The potential is high for young Garifuna professionals to connect with their community thereby contributing to their advancement.
