Experts: The conflict between dialect and Mandarin is unavoidable

Hu Guangwei, a professor of social sciences in Sichuan Province, argues that more and more young people are unwilling to say language, and that even if they are "reformed", they are not as pure as "dialect". "Don't say young people, even the older generation, some do not speak the pure Chengdu dialect." "At the same time, he said:" Most people go to school, work, they will deliberately change the accent, into the community of this family, and the state to promote Mandarin also some years, so more and more young people do not say language is also an inevitable trend. ”

"The conflict between dialect and Mandarin is unavoidable, especially in ethnic minority areas, and if bilingual teaching is not implemented, children of ethnic minorities will be difficult to integrate into society because of language difficulties." "Therefore, Hu Guangwei suggested:" Although there are conflicts, but when we speak Mandarin, we must not forget their hometown words. ”
