Authors: Cardoso, Hugo C.
Abstract: The article reports on the distribution and synchronic status of Diu Indo-Portuguese (DIP) and presents preliminary linguistic data which are collected in a three-month period. It offers an overview of the extent to which DIP is used in the small island off the southern tip of the state of Gujarat, India and the complexity of the linguistic picture among the DIP speech community touching on factors such as the role of Gujarity, Hindi or English, the availability of Standard Portuguese and the variation observed to operate in the language.
