Meeting Description:

The aim of the 17th IUAES2013 session titled 'Issues of Migration and
Its Linguistic Consequences in the Different Regions of South Asia
throughout the History' is to explore the issues of linguistic
consequences, e.g. language shift and creation of lingua francas which
occurred due to the immigration and internal migration of various
speech communities in the different regions of South Asia throughout
the history.

The immigration of various speech communities occurred in South Asia
in different phases throughout the history. It frequently occurred
with the incidence of conquest and colonization. The immigration of
the Aryans and Central Asians, and the colonization by the British
(and partly by the Tibetans), shaped the linguistic composition of
South Asia. Therefore, the language situation which now persists in
South Asia has been gradually created through language contact between
the languages of immigrants' speech communities and indigenous
communities. The pattern of language contact, however, changed over
time with the occurrence of each major flow of migration. Regardless
of this pattern, the immigrants' languages always played dominant
roles, changing the languages of both immigrant and native speech
communities and creating a few lingua francas in the different regions
of South Asia. Accordingly, the proposed panel will address the
following issues relating to the linguistic consequences of migration
in South Asia:

a) Timeline of major events of migration of various speech communities
in the language situation of South Asia
b) Linguistic consequences of the immigration of various speech
communities in South Asia
c) Process of creation of lingua francas due to the linguistic
consequences of migration in South Asia
d) Present trend of language contact due to the migration in the
language situation in South Asia

This academic session aims to facilitate communication and exchange of
information and experience among the scholars, academics and students
who are involved in the study of migration and its linguistic
consequences in South Asia and other parts of the world.
