• Resumen

  • This paper reports work on perceived ethnolinguistic vitality of Vietnamese‐ and Anglo‐Australians in Brisbane, as well as differences based on sex, level of education and, for Anglo‐Australians, residence in areas with either high‐ or low‐concentrations of Vietnamese‐Australians. As expected, Anglo‐Australians were perceived as much higher in vitality than Vietnamese‐Australians by all groups, while the latter were perceived as increasing markedly in vitality over the next 25 years. Non tertiary‐educated Anglo‐Australians from high‐concentration suburbs had an exaggerated perception of the vitality of the Vietnamese, relative to their own group.
