	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Diglossia
		His original definition of diglossia was that the two varieties which are in a diglossic relationship with each other are closely related, and therefore diglossia is not bilingualism.
		In linguistics, diglossia is a situation where, in a given society, there are two (often) closely-related languages, one of high prestige, which is generally used by the government and in formal texts, and one of low prestige, which is usually the spoken vernacular tongue.
		In Charles A. Ferguson's article "Diglossia" in the journal Word (1959), diglossia was described as a kind of bilingualism in a given society in which one of the languages is (H), i.e.

		Diglossia is a situation in which one form of a language (the H variety) is used for formal purposes (writing, speeches, &c.) and another (L) is used for conversation (and is rarely if ever written down); a typical example is Arabic in those countries where a dialect of it is the vernacular.
		In the Standard-with-dialects situation, some speakers speak H as a mother tongue, while others speak L-varieties as a mother tongue and acquire H as a second system.
		Diglossia also refers to the use of two languages in different contexts (often H and L) within the same community.

		There is still doubt wheter there is diglossia in the Philippines, considering that there is actually not a clear definition whether Tagalog and Filipino are two distinct languages.
		Diglossia in the National Capital Region, also known as Metropolitan Manila, is the hardest to determine for the reason given above.
		The diglossia is more evident in the case of other languages such as Panggalatoc or Panggasinense, Kapampangan, Bicol, Waray, Hiligaynon and Maranao, where the written varian of the language is becoming less and less popular to give way to the use of Filipinos.

		For Hartmann and Stork (1972: 67), diglossia is “the presence in a language of two standard, a highly language used for formal occasions and in written texts, and a ‘low’ language in colloquial conversation”.
		Almost all linguists and sociolinguists agree that H variety is the medium of teaching in all the educational institutions, in the mosque and church as well as in the newsbroadcast and radio soap opera.
		A diglossia speech community for linguistic or nonlinguistic reasons try to integrate with the other speech community, otherwise H will fade away as well as become an educational language used in religious cermoniesby scientists and specialists and not to be actively used in the speech community.

	Diglossia
		Latin-Spanish diglossia survived from approximately 700 to the end of the first millenium.
		Hudson (1990) has pointed out that Fishman’s reformulation of the concept of diglossia is problematic, because the direction of language evolution in a classic diglossic situation is opposite to that in the case of widespread bilingualism
		A hallmark of diglossia, according to Hudson’s interpretation of Ferguson’s conceptualization of the phenomenon, is that variation in language use depends not on who you are but instead on the social situation in which you find yourself.

		Diglossia exists, therefore, when one language is reserved for certain domains and one or more other languages are reserved for other domains...
		With diglossia, there is a clear separation between languages and values remain distinct, yet complementary, in the various social domains.

		Fishman’s 1967 model of diglossia extended Ferguson’s idea of a diglossia consisting of a parameter of two possible varieties, a high and a low binary contrast, which were typically two separate languages: a standard language and a regional variety.
		Another variation on diglossia is double-nested diglossia as described by Gumperz (1964) of a village situation in India, north of Delhi.

		A brief introduction to the language situation in modern Lebanon, plus a discussion of the basic concepts of literacy and diglossia, are followed by a study of excerpts of a series of qualitative case studies, conducted in Beirut.
		Multilingualism in Lebanon is characterised by a dominance of colloquial Lebanese Arabic in oral discourse; this contrasts with the use of a variety of languages — English, French and Modern Standard Arabic —; in the written domain.
		The analysis of statements taken from the interviews suggests that perceptions of continuity and discontinuity between the spoken/written modes are related to and shaped by diglossia.

	Reflections on Diglossia
		One point that Ferguson insisted on was a distinction between diglossia as he defined it and the more common “dialect-standard” dichotomy, the difference being that while in the latter situation there are people who actually speak “standard” (as Ferguson no doubt thought of himself as doing), under diglossia no one speaks H colloquially.
		Strong diglossia is what has up to know been called diglossia tout court: a situation where dialect and standard are different enough for their users to be fully aware of their being two distinct codes, with different names for them.
		Teaching the standard in a situation of strong diglossia is, at least at first, like teaching a foreign language, and requires a corresponding effort, including teachers with special qualifications, and the recognition that a whole new code has to be taught at the same time that literacy is first introduced.

		It allows for the existence of a variety of regional dialects to thrive, and for classical Arabic to function as a lingua franca; however, it leads to children having to learn what could be considered two languages.

		Diglossia, Ferguson claims, is not a stage which "occurs always and only at a certain point in some kind of evolution of the standardization process.“
		As a way of defining what diglossia is, Ferguson attempts to classify diglossic situations in terms of nine separate categories.

		Still, whereas Ferguson's classic examples of diglossia were neatly divided into two "vertically" distinct forms as the term suggests,6 the Bengali situation is more complex.
		The diglossia concept does not preclude the possibility of "code-switching" among diglossic variants, even within a given stretch of discourse or a single sentence.

	Diglossia
		In sociolinguistics diglossia refers to the use of either different varieties or dialects of the same language in different setting (Ferguson 1959), or to the use of two different languages depending on the setting (Fishman, 1967).
		Fishman 'extends' this idea to include two separate languages, where one language is labelled 'H' and is usually used in official or formal settings, and the second language 'L' is used in private or less formal settings.

	Session 3
		In "pure" diglossia (first proposed by a linguist named Ferguson), the two language varieties are similar, and used in separate situations that are understood by language users.
		The original definition of diglossia (proposed by Ferguson in the 1950s) does not allow the two varieties to be two different languages, or two registers of the same language (we will talk about registers later.
		As a result of her research, she claimed that there was evidence for diglossia in the language used in the deaf club.
