 urvival of Ceylon Portuguese will be considered with particular reference 
 to a community of Afrodescent whose dual heritage - African and Portuguese
  - is entwined in the performance of chant-like manja\, accompanied by dan
 cing.  The lyrics of manja encapsulate the words of a language that has be
 come moribund.  Ceylon Portuguese is a critically endangered language and 
 the loss of language threatens the survival of the tradition\, the only in
 heritance from their African ancestors.\n\n\n
