Conclusions: Multilinguality in the Malaysian Context of Nation-Building and Globalisation /Kärchner-Ober, Renate / Mukherjee, Dipika / David, Maya Khemlani --Contributors --Bibliography --IndexMalaysia has long been a melting pot of various cultures and ethnicities, including the three largest populations, the Malay, Chinese, and Indians. Despite this, efforts to implement multilingualism, advocated by language educators and policy makers, have been marred by political and religious affiliations. Drawing on two decades of field research, this timely analysis of language variation in Malaysia is an important contribution to the understanding not only of linguistic pluralism in the country, but also of the Indian Diaspora, and of the effects of language change on urban migrant populations. The research presented here will be of interest to scholars of Southeast Asian and South Asian Studies.IIAS publications series.Edited volumes ;5.National language planning and language shifts in Malaysian minority communitiesLanguage planningMalaysiaMalaysiaLanguagestaallanguageBengali languageBidayuhKuchingMalay languageMalays (ethnic group)MalaysiaMalaysian languageSarawakSindhisTamil languageLanguage planning499.2Mukherjee Dipikaedt1333082Mukherjee Dipika1965-David Maya KhemlaniInternational Institute for Asian Studies.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996218365403316National language planning & language shifts in Malaysian minority communities3041567UNISA
