From the LA Times:
Karen Leonard, a historian and anthropologist at UC Irvine and author of the book
South Asian Americans, agreed. "It's going to die out as a home language in this country
by the third generation, probably," Leonard said. "Sometimes the kids marry within

even if they marry another Indian, it might be a totally different language."
