田坝心小组壮、傣语文活态现状及成因

The Present Status of Zhuang and Dai languages at Tianbaxin Group and the Main Causes

田坝心小组是一个壮、傣杂居村寨,这个小组的壮族稳定使用母语,母语文活力非常强,而傣族有接近一半的人将壮语作为第一语言,母语使用处于衰退的状态,母语文活力比较低。其原因主要是壮族人口占优势,有着强烈的民族自信心,且存在普遍的同族婚姻和境外壮语;而傣族人口少,对壮语的有着高度认同感,且对本民族文化不重视。

Tianbaxin group is a mixed village of Zhuang and Dai people.The Zhuang language is vigorously alive as the Zhuang people use their native language firmly,while the Dai is rather weak and losing its language vitality as half of the Dai population regards the Zhuang as their first language.The main causes are that the Zhuang is the dominant in population size,they are confident in their ethnicity,and they generally marry within their nationality,even beyond the border;while the Dai are smaller in population size,mostly identify themselves with the Zhuang language,and do not give enough importance to their own culture.
