东干语的志向

苏联时期为数仅数万人且分散居住在吉尔吉斯、哈萨克、乌兹别克几个加盟共和国的东干族创制了以基利尔字母(古斯拉夫字母之一,系俄文字母的基础)为基础的东干文,开始了以拼音文字拼写汉语的成功范例。苏联解体后,以往对少数民族语言的保护政策失效,东干语言文字的发展受到影响。东干语言文字如何继续发展?是仍然保留原有风貌还是学习汉语普通话?抑或是改用拉丁字母?学者们对此展开了讨论,本文即是对各种观点的一个总结。

On the Development Trend of the Dungan Language

The only tens of thousands of the Dungan people(immigrants coming from China) living in Kyrghyz,Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan,etc,of the former Soviet Union once created the Dungan characters by using the Jili'er alphabets(among one type of the ancient Slavic alphabets and now is treated as the base of the Russian alphabets).This is a successful example of using alphabets in wiring sentences spoken in the Chinese language.After the disruption of the Soviet Union in late 1990s',its policy of protecting ethnic minorities' language as well as characters lost its effect,and as a consequence,the further development of the Dungan language including its characters received a heavy blow.So,how to develop the Dungan language in the future,i.e.,should the people there maintain their old language style,or should they learn the putonghua in stead;or should they use the Latin alphabets,that is the issue still under a heat discussion among academic circle.The paper,hence,intends to offer a conclusion of the academic research work done by scholars in recent years.
