We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.
In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.
To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.html.

I am supposed to give a position paper at a symposium on Chi. Would any of
you be able to give me references to studies of the difficulties which
children encounter in learning to read and write in a diglossic situation?
The particular situations I'm interested in (for the purposes of the
symposium--I know that not everyone considers these all to be diglossia) are:
Arabic in Arabic-speaking countries, Indonesian in Indonesia, Sinhala in
Sri Lanka, Urdu in Pakistan, German in Switzerland, English or French in
any country in which a creole related to these languages is the normal
spoken language, e.g. in the Caribbean.
Please send any references to johnresearch.haifa.ac.il.
Thanks very much,
John Myhill
