Language resources of Yunnan in “the Belt and Road” project
Zhang Xia | Yunnan Provincial Minority Language Guidance Committee
As a multi-ethnic and multilingual province, Yunnan has very
rich resources in the minority languages. Among the 25 ethnic minority groups, 22
groups speak 26 languages, belonging to the Tibetan-Burmese, Zhuang-Dong, Miao Yao
and Meng Khmer language branches of the two major language families of
Sino-Tibetan and Austro-Asiatic. The 16 cross-border ethnic groups are mainly
distributed outside in Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and other countries bordering China.
The languages and characters of these cross-border ethnic groups have become
important language resources in Yunnan in the construction of “Belt and Road
Initiative”. How to fully develop and make full use of these languages to meet the
language needs of ethnic groups in these countries along the route and to achieve
cooperation and win-win results under the framework of equal language and cultural
identity is an urgent problem to be studied and solved by the Chinese government.
This paper will make an in-depth analysis of the current language policy in Yunnan
and its efforts in the protection of cross-border language resources, in the hope
to provide some ideas for the scientific protection and utilization of
cross-border language resources.
