Language in Indenture Book

Language in Indenture compares the formation of a distinct South African Bhojpuri koine to similar koines that evolved among other groups of Indians indentured in South Africa between 1860 and 1911. Rajend Mesthrie traces the roots of South African Bhojpuri in north-east India, and examines the processes of adaptation and accomodation in a new continent, stressing the interplay between external history and internal linguistic development. He also addresses the process of language obsolescence by examining the current status of Bhojpuri and the socio-historical factors leading to its current demise, providing insights for creolists regarding the survival and eventual decline of immigrant languages in the post-slavery era.Read More
