A mathematical model of bilingualism

A general model of a mixed population with one bilingual and two monolingual components is presented in the case where one of the languages is dominant. The model consists of a system of three ordinary differential equations. This system is analyzed for its equilibria and their stability. Also, criteria for the persistence or extinction of the dominated-language speakers are derived.
