Abstract

The chapter describes the process of creating the sociolinguistic VLingS Questionnaire 1.0, aimed at assessing the levels of language endangerment or vulnerability of several minority linguistic varieties spoken in Serbia (Aromanian, Banat Bulgarian, Bayash Romanian, Ladino, Megleno-Romanian, Romani, Vlach, Vojvodina Rusyn). We outline the rationale behind developing this sociolinguistic instrument, as well as the criteria for selecting the linguistic varieties to which the questionnaire was applied during fieldwork. The chapter elaborates on the pilot and main versions of the questionnaire and provides details about the #eldwork. It includes the English translation of the questionnaire originally created and administered in Serbian and explains the adjustments made. We also present the research conducted thus far using the data from the questionnaire, as well as its possible applications to assess the levels of language endangerment of various languages spoken worldwide.
