The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Current Issues in Heritage Language Acquisition (2010, background): “Although one can certainly find some heritage speakers with very advanced or even nativelike proficiency in the two languages (e.g., some Spanish heritage speakers studied by Montrul, 2006), for most heritage speakers, the home language is the weaker language.”
REANALYSIS IN ADULT HERITAGE LANGUAGE (2011, background): “Research on heritage languages has consistently shown that both the production and comprehension of heritage speakers is different from that of native speaker controls, whose language constitutes the baseline of comparison (e.g., Montrul, 2004 , 2006 ; Polinsky, 2006 , 2008a , 2008b ).”
The Effects of Instruction on Linguistic Development in Spanish Heritage Language Speakers (2009, methodology): “Montrul (2007) has argued that simplification of mood morphology in heritage speakers’ production may also manifest itself in their receptive skills, at the level of recognition and interpretation.”
Knowledge of tense-aspect and mood in Spanish heritage speakers (2009, background): “For a study that looks at both at heritage speakers in both English and Spanish, see Montrul (2006).”
