I think I've read all the replies so far, but I don't think anyone has mentioned 
ethnolinguistic vitality theory. In 2011 the Journal of Multilingual and 
Multicultural Development had a special issue (32,2) on this subject:

There have been a number of other individual articles in JMMD on ethnolinguistic 
vitality theory over the last several years; just search the journal for the term. It 
crops up in other journals too.

> At Sociolinguistic Cluster (http://www.soziolinguistika.org/) we are working on a system of indicators that will enable a description of the social situation of the Basque language. In the initial phase of the project we have defined four general indicators: language competence, possibility of use, language use and subjective aspects (motivation, opinion or behavior, for example). These four indicators will be analyzed in areas such as family, education, administration, socio-economics, free time or means of communication. We would greatly appreciate any references regarding similar projects which could acquaint us with systems of linguistic indicators that are being used at an international level. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards.
