We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then  strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list.   This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

Does anyone know of any research on Japanese language contact
(language maintenance and shift; dialect contact; code-switching,
borrowing, other structural consequences of contact, etc) among the
Japanese diaspora communities in any of the following countries: Cuba,
Mexico, Peru, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Australia, New Zealand,
Canada?

We'll produce a summary of what we find!
