Abstract

This study investigates minority languages and social media. The focus is on examining people’s attitudes towards ethnic minority languages, ethnic language users and the future of languages. It also evaluates people’s views with regards to whether ethnic minority languages should be used on social media. Factors that motivate people to use ethnic minority languages on social media are also investigated. 454 successfully completed questionnaires were used as data. The findings uncovered that the majority of Guizhou people use ethnic minority languages in order to maintain the relationship with family members and friends. In addition, it also showed that people in Guizhou, regardless of their identity, have positive attitudes towards the aforementioned three aspects on ethnic languages. Finally, it was discovered in the study that most people think ethnic minority languages should be used on social media as this functions to preserve ethnic minority culture and languages.
