Vulnerabilidad de lenguas en Durham, NC: un análisis geolingüístico y socioeconómico
Abstract
In the context of linguistic rights, I present a series of cartographic observations
about the growing diversity of languages in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. This work’s
purposes are to identify vulnerable populations through language and related socioeconomic
trends, share information in an accessible manner to community members, and discuss
methods to promote linguistic equity. I explore the right to speak one’s own language,
linguistic rights in the Americas, and their importance in Raleigh-Durham-Cary, a
multilingual area. I share the information about local linguistic diversity gathered
from interviews with community advocates. The methodology of creating the maps and
conducting statistical analyses is then explained. I present the maps and make observations
about diverse language groups’ characteristics. Finally, I observe which language
communities are the most vulnerable.
