This article presents the results of a survey carried out on the Alabama-Coushatta Indian Reservation in Polk County, Texas, in 1996. Approximately one hundred members of the Alabama and Coushatta tribes participated. While it is clear that the Alabama and Coushatta languages are acquired and maintained less and less by the younger members of the tribes, these languages are still widely spoken. The overall attitude towards maintaining competence in these languages is positive, and there is a considerable number of young people who are still fluent. This survey underlines the role of the home in the language maintenance process.
