520    "In the period following the country's independence in 
       1981, Kriol has risen to the level of a national language.
       While the prestige enjoyed by English and Spanish is 
       indisputable, a range of historical and socio-economic 
       developments has given Kriol an elevated status in the 
       coastal districts at the potential expense of more 
       vulnerable minority languages also spoken there. Using 
       fieldwork, ethnographic observations, interviews, and 
       surveys of language attitudes and use, Gómez Menjívar and 
       Salmon show the attenuation of Mopan and Garifuna 
       alongside the stigmatized yet robust Kriol language. 
       Examin[es] how large-scale economic restructuring can 
       unsettle relationships among minority languages" --
