Jabeen, Firasat – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2020

Hiramoto, Mie – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2015
Almost a century after the end of the period of Japanese immigration to Hawaii plantations, the Japanese language is no longer the main medium of communication among local Japanese in Hawaii.
