传承或消亡？—— 沙登客家新村语言与文化研究 Inheritance or Extinction? The Study of Language and Culture in Serdang Hakka New Village

Abstract

时代变迁与环境变化对许多语言和文化的维护与传承带来了不小的冲击。沙登新村是马来西亚第二大新村，因其超过90%的客家居民而成为著名的客家新村，客家话是生活中主要的沟通用语。本文通过问卷调查和深入访谈方式，考察与探讨当地客家人的语言使用、文化保留及发展现状，为马来西亚客家及华人社会的语言使用研究提供相关的资料。

Social and environmental upheavals have adversely impacted the maintenance and preservation of culture and languages. Serdang New Village is the second largest New Village in Malaysia, with more than 90% of the residents being of Hakka descent, with the Hakka dialect being the main language of communication. Through questionnaire survey and personal interviews, this paper aims to investigate and discuss the use of the Hakka dialect, and the efforts to preserve the Hakka culture in the village. It is hoped that this research will provide relevant materials for the study of language use in the Malaysian Hakka community and the Malaysian Chinese society in general.
