How social changes affect Indigenous language Skills in Taiwan through language use

What is it about?

Fewer Indigenous people in Taiwan speak their native languages. This is because families use them less at home and in the community. Moving, intermarriage, and religious change make it harder to keep the languages alive.

Why is it important?

Since the 1960s, Taiwan has undergone major social changes that negatively impacted the learning environment for Indigenous heritage languages. As a result, many Indigenous people have lost proficiency in their heritage language. This study uses data to explore the urgent need for deeper understanding of how sociocultural factors and the amount of HL exposure contribute to the decline of Formosan language skills.
