This survey explores Hakka dialect's cultural identity, suggesting revival strategies for preservation.
The Hakka language, which is spoken by over 80 million globally, exhibits prominent dialectal variation and cultural richness in modern society. Despite its widespread presence, Hakka in a latent sense faces endangerment due to urbanization and lin-guistic assimilation, particularly among the youth. This study conducted a small-scale survey to critically explore the relationship between the dialect and its cultural iden-tity aiming to assess whether the revival of Hakka is viable. It proposes a multidi-mensional mixed approach from both macro and micro perspectives and advocates for the revitalization of Hakka dialects with 3 aspects through socio-economic inte-gration, educational strategies. The aim is to advocate preservation of Hakka linguis-tic diversity and cultural identity by offering a nuanced view of complex interplay between language, culture, and human rights.
