Resumo
All over the world the accelerated death of minority languages, mainly the indigenous ones, has been
calling the attention of linguists who have been assuming the need not only of sociolinguistic studies but
also of new sociolinguistic typologies as a way of bringing forth programs of (re)vitalization of those
endangered languages. This article presents the reasons for the maintenance of those languages and those
related to their loss, the up to date sociolinguistic typologies as well as a preliminary report, which was
done in February and August of 2002, on the sociolinguistic situation of the Avá-Canoeiro indigenous
people who are living at the Area Avá-Canoeiro, in the state of Goiás. In order to correctly apply the
typology chosen for this study the historical contact of the group with the whites is showed giving
support to the analysis of code switching among the Avá themselves and the whites living in the area. It
is assumed by this author that code switching studies can be seen as a good tool to show how “safe” the
native language is and to give support to the linguistic and educational actions under way among those
people
