This article discusses the interaction of economic opportunity and language choice. On the basis of ethnographic and interview data, I show language ideologies and patterns of language choice in a multilingual Belizean village to be related to economic activity. In the case in question, fishing, international tourism, transnational trade and work migration are crucial in understanding complex patterns of language ideology and use. The main argument is that economic practice is central in the development of social relations and thus of language ideologies. On a theoretical level, this implies that the discursive construction ofa language(asSpanish,EnglishorGerman) is linked to economic conditions. Where economic and political power structures co-occur, the emergence of clearly defined cultural and thus linguistic categories seems to be more likely.
