Annotation

This study explores the ethnolinguistic vitality of the Shina-speaking small immigrant Gurezi ethnic group in the Kashmir valley. In an intergroup setting where a big eminent group dominates a small one in nearly every public area, language use patterns of the latter can constiute an important factor in adding to its vitality.
