Do languages die gradually or abruptly? Spontaneous speech samples were elicited from 40 speakers of Trinidad Bhojpuri in rural Caroni, Trinidad, ranging in age from 95 to 26. The oldest 28 subjects were representative. Data corpora were pro-rated to equal length, and the errors and test features in each corpus were counted to distinguish statistically between native and non-native competence. Speakers formed two internally age-independent competence clusters-with the 10 youngest speakers and one older speaker a group apart, signaling a discontinuity between native and post-native competence.
