Abstract:

This volume addresses the question ‘What role does religion play in the
maintenance, revival and/or shift, of languages?’ The chapters in this volume
explore the complex and dynamic relationship between religion and the
maintenance, revival and/or shift of languages in different multilingual
multicultural contexts, under diverse sociopolitical conditions, at different
points in time. The 12 chapters cover data from Algeria, India, Israel,
Malaysia, Nigeria, Singapore, UK, USA and Uganda and discuss the impact of
context, ideology, identity and education on the following religions:
Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, and some religions
closely associated with China such as Confucianism and Taoism, and their
respective languages and varieties of language in these regions. The languages
discussed by the writers in this volume include Arabic, English, Hebrew,
Malay, Mandarin, Portuguese, Punjabi, Pali, Sanskrit, Tamazight and Yoruba.
