This paper examines the lexicographical reflexes of social change among South Mricans of Indian descent, with respect to caste and kinship in the province of Natal. The first part of the paper shows the attrition of lexis pertaining to caste and the adaptation of the remaining terms to an arguably noncaste structure in South Mrican Bhojpuri. The second part concerns the carryover of some kinship terminology from the ancestral Indian languages (e.g., Bhojpuri, Tamil) to South Mrican Indian English.
