This article outlines a research project conducted in Perpignan in 1988. The object of this project was to discover and describe the varieties of language present in the town, patterns of language use and language attitudes among inhabitants. The research took the form of a questionnaire survey, used with a representative sample of the population. The outline of the methodology and fieldwork of the project is followed by an assessment of the three major minority languages encountered, Catalan, Castilian and Arabic. This looks at the current language contact situations, in terms of individual and societal bilingual‐ism, and the possibilities of maintenance or shift of the three languages in the future, taking into account the attitudes of informants towards their own and other minority languages
