Cabécar is the minority language spoken by the people in the territory of Talamancain Costa Rica. It belongs to a group of languages called Chibcha and with itsphonological, morpho-syntactic and lexical characteristics the variety differs fromthe Costa Rican majority language- Spanish. Another significant difference appearsto be that cabécar, even being the most spoken indigenous language in Costa Rica,is considered at risk of disappearing.Investigation on language attitudes often cope with matters where minoritylanguages are confronted with majority languages and most research shows thatlanguage attitudes have a decisive role for the future of the endangered minorities.The purpose of this study is to measure and analyze some linguistic attitudes towardsthe minority among the native speakers of the language cabécar in Talamanca. Themethods used in this research are both direct. In this context, we use the combinationof techniques as interviewing and questionnaires that will allow us to observe theattitudes among young cabécar- speaking informants. Firstly, the informants fill inthe questionnaire based on the Likert scale which consists of 20 positive, negativeand neutral statements towards the cabécar language. Thereupon, we use aninterview based on 20 questions to get more complex answers and/or explanationsnow that the closed- response options in the questionnaire happened to limit thepossibility for the informants to justify their choice of positive or negativestatements. With open questions we made it possible to examine whether there is aseparation between attitudes towards the language and attitudes towards thespeakers. To establish if the results are statistically significant various statisticalmethods have been studied as well as previous studies about this significant topic.The results of the study show that the existing attitudes towards the cabécarlanguage differ depending on the informant(s) and their relationship towards theindigenous community. Informants familiar with, or who has roots in, theindigenous group, like the participants in this investigation, in general, have a morepositive attitude towards the language. Although, they consider breaking the normsrelated to the minority language is and will continue being a hard mission in theCosta Rican society.
