摘　　要：1 What is minority language?Chaklader(1981)argues for adopting a definition of minority languages at the state level.A‘minority language’,in the most straightforward sense,is simply one language spoken by less than 50 percent of a population within a specific geographic region which is different from the language of the majority community and the language of the state[1].The crucial point is the proportion of speaker population in the given region or country.In other words,a minority language might be only a minority language in this specific region,but a majority language in other region(Grenoble,2014)[2].For example,Spanish is the majority language in a group of south American countries,however,it is a minority language in the USA in general.Mongolian,is also an example of this kind of minority language.
