摘要

在Umzimkhulu。研究结果表明，尽管被指定为伊西科萨语的一种方言，但伊西巴卡语比伊西科沙语更接近伊西祖鲁语。2006年将Umzimkhulu归类为KZN导致了这种向伊西祖鲁的趋势。这篇文章表明，阿玛巴卡人正在放弃他们的语言，因为他们必须使用主流/标准语言作为官方语言。因此，他们必须优先考虑两者的知识，而不是L1才能生存。事实证明，许多人重视isiBhaca，并希望它得到推广。其他人更喜欢伊西科萨语或伊西祖鲁语等占主导地位的语言，对伊西巴卡语的灭绝并不关心。贡献：这项研究表明了振兴和保护少数民族语言和非标准语言（如印度语）的重要性。这项研究预计将对南部非洲和其他语言和方言多样的地方的社会语言学产生重大影响。

Language maintenance and shift among amaBhaca of Umzimkhulu, KwaZulu-Natal

in Umzimkhulu. The findings showed that isiBhaca is closer to isiZulu than isiXhosa, despite being designated a dialect of isiXhosa. The 2006 categorization of Umzimkhulu under KZN caused this trend toward isiZulu. This article showed that the amaBhaca are abandoning their language since they must use dominant/standard languages as the official language. Thus, they had to prioritise knowledge of the two over L1 to survive. It was demonstrated that many value isiBhaca and want it promoted. Others prefer dominant languages like isiXhosa or isiZulu and are unconcerned about the extinction of isiBhaca. Contribution: This research shows the importance of the revitalisation and preservation of minority languages and non-standard languages such as isiBhaca. This study is expected to impact sociolinguistics significantly in Southern Africa and other places with diverse languages and dialects.

期刊介绍： Literator publishes research articles and essays on linguistics and literature in general, but focuses in particular on the (comparative) study of South African languages and literatures and other cultural phenomena across language, media and cultural boundaries (examples of topics would be: different manifestations of Post-Modernism, the interaction between visual arts and literature, the representation of the South African War in literature, language attitudes and language policy).
