  • In the late nineteenth and early twentieth Century, a mass inmigrant flow reshaped Argentine demography. A particularly high percentage offoreigner s settled in the southwest of the province of Buenos Aires, where a complex multilingualism was generated. Nevertheless, an accelerated Substitution of original languages took place in a few decades, and nowadays Spanish is the only language spoken by the majority of the population. Against that background, Danish and Volga-German communities stand out because of their prolonged conservation oftheir Immigrant languages, which continues to the present. In this paper, we offer a review of both groups' linguistic behavior, with the purpose of analyzing the common factors that in both cases have contributed to producing the nontypical result referred to.
