SIL's dedication to language development past and present
A survey was conducted in the Xokleng reserve in the state of Santa Catarina in Brazil, where we observed language use among the Xokleng to determine the likelihood of the maintenance of the Xokleng language. Language development work with the Xokleng was being considered. Our methods included observation and questions.
