"..This paper presents the results of a sociolinguistic survey of the Pwo Karen people in northern Thailand, with a special focus on those located furthest from the center of literature development in Chiang Mai province. It was hypothesized that the Pwo Karen in some areas of northern Thailand speak a language unintelligible with the Northern Pwo Karen language of Chiang Mai province. Therefore, the purpose of this survey was to determine whether there are any unintelligible varieties and whether there is any further need for language development among the Pwo Karen of northern Thailand. Language vitality, attitudes, and bilingualism were assessed using sociolinguistic interviews. Intelligibility was assessed using recorded text testing, and lexical similarity was assessed using wordlists. The survey’s conclusion is that further language development would be beneficial, because Pwo Karen is a vital language in northern Thailand, and there is substantial variation among speech varieties. Language development, however, might not include development of written materials in every dialect or group..."

Abstract: "The spread of telecommunications networks and the growth in cross-border trade and travel bring minority language communities in Myanmar into ever greater contact with external influences presenting those communities with new choices and new challenges for their language, culture and group identity. In this context, it is important for a community to be able to assess the vitality of their language at the present moment as well as the likely direction of movement in coming years.
This paper describes a sociolinguistic study of language vitality of the Akha communities in Eastern Shan State, Myanmar. Fieldwork involved data collection in 18 Akha villages during Apr-Jul 2014. Factors including Age, Gender and Religious Affiliation were used in the research design. The Extended Graded Intergenerational Disruption Scale (EGIDS) (Lewis & Simons 2015:104-117) was used to characterise language vitality and the FAMED conditions (Lewis &Simons 2015:159-189) to assess the extent to which the current level of vitality is sustainable.
Overall, Akha language vitality was assessed at EGIDS level 5: ?the language is used orally by all generations and is effectively used in written form in parts of the community (Lewis & Simons 2010:110)”. The study found considerable dissimilarities among different villages, with religious affiliation a major predictor of literacy proficiency and usage. The role of the non-formal literacy program operating in Christian villages in sustaining the current level of vitality will be discussed.".....Paper delivered at the International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies: Burma/Myanmar in Transition: Connectivity, Changes and Challenges: University Academic Service Centre (UNISERV), Chiang Mai University, Thailand, 24-26 July 2015.
