description	A sociolinguistic, synchronic study of lang maintenance & shift among the Kannada-speaking Asian-Indians of NY, who constitute a first-generation immigrant community. Based on data obtained via interviews, observation, & a 55-item questionnaire (N = 21 families), the following factors were examined: (1) parents' & children's competence in & attitudes toward the ethnic lang, (2) access to Mc & UMc roles, (3) interaction & socialization patterns among families, & (4) linguistic & cultural diversity among subgroups of the community. Overall, Kannadigas are found to maintain only limited ethnic separateness in food habits, socialization patterns, & cultural affiliation. Moreover, the mainstream lang is used extensively in intragroup communication. It is suggested that acceptance of Eng reflects the Kannadigas' perception of themselves as successful, upwardly mobile participants in US culture. 4 Tables, 15 References. P. Farrell
