  abstract = {{R}ecent anthropological and socio-historical research on {M}aroon populations suggests that {M}aroon communities have undergone significant social change since the 1960s spurred by processes of urbanization. {H}owever, to date very little is known about how these social changes are impacting on the {M}aroon {C}reoles as there is very little sociolinguistic research being carried out in the region. {T}he aim of this paper is to examine the sociolinguistic context of the {M}aroon {C}reoles in the light of data from two recent sociolinguistic surveys carried out in {S}uriname and {F}rench {G}uiana. {T}he findings demonstrate that the sociolinguistic status of {M}aroon languages has undergone various changes. {S}everal of them are now well represented in {F}rench {G}uiana and, as additional languages, are gaining speakers both in {S}uriname and {F}rench {G}uiana. {W}hile their speakers increasingly practice them together with other languages, thus displaying their multilingual repertoire, there is little indication that their survival is threatened because their speakers predominantly hold positive attitudes towards them.},
