Panel 58 CHALLENGES TO (ENDANGERED) MINORITY LANGUAGES IN SE ASIA

Abstract:
Across Southeast Asia, especially since many nations gained political
independence in the post second world war period, the languages of, generally
speaking, the dominant ethnic groups have tended to become superordinate in
many respects (as media of State education, broadcasting, the law, among the
others). This is the case of Malay and Indonesian, Khmer, Thai and Vietnamese
among the others.

This panel examines the effects of the rise of superordinate languages on
minority endangered languages such as language loss, borrowings as a result
of external influence, bilingualism, language policy and its links with
social position. Papers will deal with any subfield of linguistics and
different approaches and persuasions on the minority languages of South East
Asia that are facing decline at an unprecedented speed and in particular will
report on what is being done in terms of documentation and conservation.
