Maintenance of mother tongue (Ll) by immigrants implies both competence in the language and the use of it. A study was conducted on the maintenance of LI by 10- to ll-year-old children of Lebanese immigrants in Melbourne. While most of the 62 subjects could speak Lebanese well, few could read or write it. It was found that the children's competence in Ll was largely a function of the literacy level of their parents and their interest in the quality of their children's language, while the actual use of Ll by the children reflected their opportunities to speak it and the necessity for them to do so, rather than their competence in it or their linguistic and ethnic attitudes.
