<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I am writing an overview of Polynesian languages
(plus Fijian) and I'd like to have your input about the current status of
these languages if you are currently involved with Polynesian
language(s) or Fijian in some way (living where it/they are spoken, in
contact with the speakers, etc.).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Things I'd like to know:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Where is your language spoken?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">How many speakers does it have?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Does it have dialects? What are
they?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">What world language (e.g. English, French,
Spanish) does it compete or coexist with?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">What
political/social status does it have (e.g. is it an official
language)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Is there a government policy concerning this
language?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">In what domains is the language used? in
education? in the home? in religious activities? etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Is the language surviving or is it in danger of
extinction?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"></FONT> </DIV>
