Abstract Most nations in mainland Southeast Asia and elsewhere have one national language as a focus of national identity and unity, supported by a language policy which promotes and develops this language. Indigenous and immigrant minority groups within each nation may be marginalized; their languages may become endangered. Some of the official national language policies and ethnic policies of mainland Southeast Asian nations aim to support both a national language and indigenous minority languages, but usually the real policy is less positive. It is possible to use sociolinguistic and educational strategies to maintain the linguistic heritage and diversity of a nation, develop bilingual skills among minority groups, and integrate minorities successfully into the nations where they live, but this requires commitment and effort from the minorities themselves and from government and other authorities. The main focus of this paper is two case studies: one of language policy and planning in Myanmar, whose language policy and planning has rarely been discussed before. The other is on the Lisu, a minority group in Myanmar and surrounding countries, who have been relatively successful in maintaining their language.

东南亚大陆的语言政策和语言规划:缅甸和Li苏

摘要东南亚和其他地区的大多数国家/地区都将一种语言作为一种民族认同和统一的重点,并得到了促进和发展该语言的语言政策的支持。每个国家的土著和移民少数群体可能被边缘化;他们的语言可能会受到威胁。东南亚国家的一些官方国家语言政策和种族政策旨在支持本国语言和土著少数民族语言,但通常实际政策不太积极。可以使用社会语言学和教育策略来维护一个国家的语言遗产和多样性,发展少数群体之间的双语技能,并将少数群体成功地融入他们所居住的国家,但这需要少数群体自己以及政府和其他当局的承诺和努力。本文的主要重点是两个案例研究:缅甸的语言政策和计划之一,其语言政策和计划以前很少讨论。另一个是在su族(Lisu)上,Li族是缅甸及周边国家的少数群体,他们在保持语言方面取得了相对成功。
