This paper presents a comparison of the diglossic relationship between Guyanese Bhojpuri and Standard Hindi with the original concept of diglossia given in Ferguson (1959).2 It is argued here that the Guyanese Bhojpuri-Standard Hindi diglossia has been only partially developed. In the present wake of their replacement by Guyanese Creole and Standard English in most of the domains, it seems that the "higher" counterpart of the diglossia has chances of limited survival but the "lower" language is heading for a sure death.
