| Abstract | The intergenerational language maintenance among Burmese immigrants in the USA is expected to be minimal, especially because they are not a homogeneous entity. This paper studies the situation in the Bay Area of San Francisco and takes into consideration the experience of the Mettnanda Vihra. It highlights the obstacles to language maintenance and examines the relative importance attached to Chinese or Burmese according to ethnicity. The author notes how the second-generation Burmese Americans are shifting to English monolingualism irrespective of their original ethnicity. |
